And there's not really any guarantee that they're going to stop charging that money after the three years has passed because people will be used to paying it at that point.

That aside, can you imagine having to pay an extra $200 a month for your mortgage for at least three years to cover over the fact that people that work for your city sexually assaulted other people?

I don't know the details of the case but I expect that almost everyone who works for the city is as opposed to sexual assault as any normal person is. The mistake of the city government as a whole was having so little insurance - just one million dollars. I had 500k in liability for my house and I'm only one guy.
