Private property isn't so private anymore. When normal Americans weren't looking, squatters became cult heroes. The left has been cultivating squatters' rights for years. Woke cities are giving them legal backup by consolidating COVID-19-era no-eviction rules into free housing for months or years.

I dodged a bullet on this one. Had a caregiver who I really liked who was helping me take care of my FIL. She was very good at that. Anyway, she had a period where her lease was up and she had a month before her new apartment was ready so I was going to let her live in my camper.
Later, I overheard her bragging about a friend who was a squatter and was able to live for years for free. I rescinded the offer making some excuse. Later, she tried to re-cash several caregiving checks. It was about $2000 total. Fortunately, I got the amounts reversed by the bank.

The govt doesn’t want the citizens to have the right to defend them homes, property and lives...so citizens fear the bigger criminals behind the criminals.
“Maybe. But remember, the US courts apply one set of laws to them and an entirely different set of laws to us.”
Yep. Watch what happens when they try that at a Martha’s Vineyard vacation home.
I was thinking the same thing. After gushes, hugs, and elaborate displays of affection and solidarity, the jettisoned those deadbeats outta there in record time!
Good point.
I too wonder who the homeowners voted for in these blue cities. I think I know.
bttt

“The law, passed unanimously by the legislature, doesn’t go into effect until July 1. Not sure why the delay.”
My wife comes from Snow Bird country and her two remaining siblings are in their southern winter quarters and will return about 1 April.
