One thing about the warwicks, they cannot handle money. This is a perfect example of that. Apparently Styx's castle is somehow adjacent to a school. The school has been approaching the homeowners like the warwicks to buy an "easement" on the castle so that school access can be made over the land to a nearby park.
Most people who do not need money rarely sell the easement willingly. rahter, you wait for the school district to get desperate and they offer more or sue to condemn part of the land. well, just before covid, the school district found one interested person who would take the 3 grand offered, but when covid hit, rutland said - no discretionary spending. so they had this hearing and apparently from the fact that they never cleaned that house, they did not get the money: But the story said the money deal went forward.
