There was a time when you could let it fall into disrepair if you desired, because it was “yours”. No longer, now the local lord uses eminent domain to take it from you and reassign it another holder who promises to tithe more in future years.

Just try not paying the government its take very year. Just try adding a room on without government permission. Just try adding a wheelchair ramp to the front stoop without government permission. I could go on, but you get the point.
