<p>But for the statute eliminating the "don't know" it could be
argued that a form with "don't know" is substantially similar.
The statewide forms have added "n/a" and are presumably compliant.<br>
</p>
<p>But this is F'n absurd! There are some questions I thought
should be amended to eliminate "no" as a possible answer. For
example does the property contain fill dirt. There is no way an
owner who didn't see the property being developed would know it
didn't contain fill dirt, unless maybe someone told them.</p>
<p>It may be that sellers will simply have to quit providing this
form and risk a buyer backing out. <br>
</p>
<p>A better solution would be to have greater explicit buyer rights
to ask questions of improperly filled out questions. That would
put more pressure on sellers to fill out forms correctly.<br>
</p>
<p>Finally, the legislature really needs to get someone who knows
something to work on these issues. The change that just went into
effect about internet service (which was hardly a pressing issue)
requires the exact same answer for a property that has no internet
service available as one that doesn't currently subscribe to
internet. How does that help the buyer? <br>
