City people.
“We’re told Peterson leased the house to tenants in 2010, including this alleged squatter, but had to evict everyone when it was found not fit to live in.”
So she rented to this lady, abandoned it, lady decided to keep the lease and do all this improvement, owner comes back and says HEY, nice job. Now give me my fixed up house.
That being said, it wasn’t squatter lady’s house to get a lien on, the lease has surely expired or was gone when it was deemed unfit.
The owner apparently leased the house to the person that is now the squatter, but had to evict everyone because the house was uninhabitable.
The squatter claims that she fixed the problem, and has a construction lien on the house. But, she also filed a claim with the city, saying the house was "abandoned".
I don't know how much of this is true. In typical form, the reporter didn't bother to check out any of these claims: asking for a copy of the lease, checking for a construction lien (that's public record), or doing basic legwork to determine who is telling the whole truth.
New Orleans didn’t need a Katrina.From what I’ve seen of the city during my visits there combined with what I’ve read about it Detroit desperately *needs* a Katrina...without the deaths,of course.
Right............
It is legal in most states to shoot home invaders. Just saying...............
The Boston-Edison district is now going for $23,000? That is (or at least was) one of the few areas in Detroit outside downtown that wasn’t ghetto last I heard.
Adventures of Heidi In Commiland
Right out of pages of a Rusky novel the Peterson girl has her hopes of the American dream dashed.She experiences in a blink of the eye of time ,three years after the Obamo line, the real Detroit and sadly learns the commies have taken over.
This is what the squatter said. Affordable housing has always been another word for legalized theft. The want housing they do not have to pay for. If someone else pays for it then it is affordable to them.
This is what America is coming to. Anything you worked for, anything you earned can be stolen from you because that makes it “affordable” to someone else.
While I commend her for her appreciation of those lovely old homes, I think she is very naive to believe she can live in safety as a single young gal in that area of the city. She's also going to have to spend a fortune to rejuvenate that old house, money which she does not appear to have......
In today’s USA, you only think you own property. Ownership really means paying taxes and having liability for what happens. Because you dared to own property, you violated the major tenet of communism - all property must be in the hands of the collectivity. How dare you!
The neat part of anarchy is that it does not always work in favor of the anarchist. For example, if somebody squats in your home, and the law is too feeble to kick them out, then it is also likely too feeble that if you hire somebody to kick them out, to do anything about it.
That is, she should hire some brutes, with instructions that they are to purge the house of the squatters, destroy all their stuff, and if they resist, persuade them that it is unwise to return.
And that they have license to do this as they see fit.
When government does not protect the citizenry from criminals, or worse, when government takes the side of the criminals against the citizenry, vigilantism is the result. And while vigilantism just seeks the restoration of order and non-violence, if the authorities and the criminals resist this restoration of order, it is not the fault of the vigilantes when they must use force to reestablish order.
I some time watch a show about a pawnshop that shows the creeps that live in that city.These people are crazy.I would be scared to live in that city...
Really? So where was she for a year? Not saying she shouldn't be able to throw the squatter out if she owns the home, but something about this story seems fishy to me.
Why should anyone be entitled to more than a fair shair of square footage living space? We have poor people suffering without homes, so it should only be fair to force those with more square footage than the masterminds deem necessary for happiness to take in the unlucky that has no square footage! That would be a much more fair distribution of shelter!
(is a sarc tag really necessary?)
I’m sure that some marxist has already considered this approach.
