Damn what a shame. I would be livid if it happemed a single time, but 17?!? Absolutely ridiculous. Sad to hear they had to move out.

Once is an accident. When your house gets crashed into 17 times, there must be a problem in the road design. The people living there should be compensated and something has to be done to the road to make it safer for the road users and the people living in the house.

Or maybe a wall?

A few good landscaping boulders would do the trick as well.

That’s exactly what they’ve done. The problem is that the house isn’t inhabitable rn because of structural damage caused by someone hitting it anyways.

So he did. I missed that part.

It doesn't actually require a problem with the road. Rather, it simply takes something that requires a driver turn properly. I've never seen anything like this but there's a wall not too far from here that's been hit IIRC 4 times over the years. It's a bit hard to see the place to turn until you're almost on top of it, I presume the impacts have been drunks who saw the turn too late and went into it too fast. Drunks will fail to navigate turns, if your house is in the line of fire you're going to take hits. (Which is why I absolutely would not buy a house that could be hit by someone not turning sharply enough.)
