In retrospect I guess the "buyback" worked. She threw her self out of a window instead of shooting herself.
Perhaps her family will sue the city for building the ground too far from her window. They should have known that getting a paltry $50 bucks for her civic mindedness would depress her to the point of suicide.
Better yet, the family should sue Mary Rose and her ilk.
