Getting really sick of Brad Lamb's shit. How hard is it to provide some degree of protection for the properties you own?
I read comments online from someone who lives in that row of old homes and they are furious.

Plenty of room for a blank-slate tower now. Brad Lamb must be salivating.

^I hope they find Lamb responsible for the fire after the investigation.

And all the rest forget,
But one remembers yet.
