The environment in San Francisco is very politicized and participating in foreclosure auctions during this period meant tuning out crowds of protesters who were attempting vainly to disrupt trust deed auctions to ‘save’ the borrowers.

I am confused.The main protests he raises are things like (paraphrased):"The seller advertised 700/mo on the MLS, so if it turns out he misrepresented, that would be a breach of contract."

Which means even though he's been in our unit for the last 8 months, they're going to pull all 8 months of rent out of our account (or take it out of our payments we'd get for other tenants)We protested but it's a lost cause.So I told my operations person that's it. 

If it's been there for over 20 years with no protest, you might have some leverage there and the new neighbor might take a small amount and give you the easement rather than having a judge say you get to keep it and he gets nothing.

One officer was actually an investor herself and had a few multis in the Humboldt Park area of Chicago so she gave great insight into area.My point is that these deals are still available in Chicago even with higher taxes (certain areas of city qualify for 19% tax abatement if rented by section 8) and I protest taxes every year on every property- but I had to lose 12 straight bidding wars over 6 months before I got lucky.

I protested. 

Also one thing to keep in mind is that you can protest your taxable house value every year and thus, reduce your taxes.
