You come home from a vacation and there’s a bunch of sleazeballs living in your house. Don’t think it can’t happen because it is happening, and you may find that there’s not much you can do about it. From Betsy McCaughey at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
If you own a home and don’t want to lose it, keep reading.
Homeowners who go on vacation or a business trip, even for just a week, are returning to find their houses overtaken by trespassers who fraudulently claim a right to be there. It’s happening to tens of thousands of homeowners from New York City to Atlanta and Los Angeles.
When owners call the police, they’re told police can’t help. It’s a civil matter, and they have to file an eviction lawsuit, which can drag on for months or years because housing courts are backlogged.
Meanwhile, owners are out on the street while squatters are living free, destroying houses, and even selling off owners’ belongings.
If you found a stranger sitting in your car and called the police, they would immediately ask to see the registration and decide who owns it, according to Georgetown law professor Jonathan Turley. They wouldn’t let the thief drive off. But the law is stacked against homeowners.
You can thank leftist lawmakers who have degraded property rights and tilted the law to favor criminals. The result is an epidemic of brazen squatting.
In New York state, a homeowner faced with a trespasser can expect eviction to take two years. Meanwhile, the owner is barred from turning off utilities, removing belongings, or doing anything else to get the invaders out. It’s crazy.
Several plus vacancies locally in suburbistan that is now almost urban with bus stops and cameras going up on utility poles.
Some could be Air B N’ B or snowbirds gone south to roost.
Dullards don’t look up and had a blast shooting off on New Years from the church parking lot even though I tried to warn them about the tinted domes on the poles.
I’m keeping an eye on some for escape options and Red State doesn’t play regarding property rights.
CPUSA (D) workers utopias are shedding people and locally it has increased by hundreds of thousands with people now putting a up fight against unbridled development.
Prices are reasonable or the ol’ no one really wants to live there, I love it, because I live here that’s why.
Reading about Leonel Moreno who made the how to squat video for CCP-Tok and in this latest one he is holding what looks to be about several thousand dollars and mocking the US Taxpayer who “works like a slave” to fund his lifestyle.
I would be grateful and think I had found some Shangri-La James Bond meets Pussy Galore I must be dreaming but some are just ingrates.
I dare him to go any barrio or CPUSA (D) voter’s plantation and wave that around.
That would impress me.
