Empty San Francisco lot called "No Man's Land" worth up to $50 million is at the center of neighborhood battle prompting violence, restraining orders.A years-long battle over an abandoned plot of San Francisco real estate reportedly worth up to $50 million has turned violent.The feud to access it has pitted a local business against a group of neighborhood guerilla gardeners - escalating from punches and threats to sledgehammers and power saws.

"You're a f*****g a*****e," one of the guerilla gardeners yelled at Rucker. "Get the f**k away before a fight ensues, we don't want to fight."Surveillance video shows the group appeared to be messing with their newly-built planters. An argument ensues after a man in the group started screaming at Rucker about some cement he said was on the property. The woman beside him grabs Rucker's bag of chips and throws them in the dirt.

According to the city, if property taxes on a parcel of land remain unpaid for anywhere between five to seven years, the city has the right to auction off the land. Rucker and Menendez avoided that auction by paying the taxes. Lerma says it also appears they meet the legal standard for what's called a 'prescriptive easement.'
