Right off the list Elon Musk posted on X as to how “they” plan tob fundamentally transform America.
Why not get paid? it sounds lucrative to me.
Years a ago, I ran across an article on Adverse Possession, and how proper can be transferred / acquired / stolen that way.
But there is a legal process, and a lot of jumping through hoops, to accomplish it.
“someone who squats on a property for a certain amount of time, treats the property as their own, pays property taxes, lives their life as if they are the owner, and is never legally asked to leave can eventually claim it as their own.”
I believe they have to publish intentions in the newspaper, and prove that they’ve made Ed c very effort to contact the owner.
“Accessory Dwelling Unit” - I think they’re also called “Granny Flats” - they became legal in California a few years ago and are going up everywhere.
“it could be half a year before I’d even know someone was there....”
Basic security systems can show you on your cell phone real-time happenings at your property. It’s something everyone needs to consider, ‘cause riff-raff can invade within a few hours’ time.
“Accessory Dwelling Unit”
In HI, it’s called an “ohana”.
Gets more complicated than that.... it’s way out of cell phone range.
Cops can’t move these people out because the wrong presecent is being followed. The decision was made to treat squatters like tenants not paying rent. That’s the wrong application.
That was the BIG mistake. Squatters were never tenants.
Squatters should have been treated like a burglar caught by cops IN THE HOME: arrested, removed and jailed.
So what do we do now?
Go to state legislators and have them write new laws.
Then the problem is solved.
Cops can remove them if what they’re doing is breaking the law. But the law is NOT written so cops can’t do anything. This isn’t rocket science.
That would be a problem. Booby trap the place...? (Kidding.)
Well, there are solutions to that too... satellite. I’m sure that a discussion with Zoleo, inReach or Garmin would identify some possibilities, but they likely won’t be cheap.
Regardless, what do I do when i see someone there? Police too are hours away.
It almost is a case that one is better off to leave the doors unlocked with a note that says “Look, I left the doors unlocked so you didn’t need to smash in. Please tidy up after yourselves and leave the place nice and clean.”
If not that, then yes..... booby trap the place.
Yes. I’m a fan of the booby trap idea. There really are no other options for you.
In some states you can acquire property by paying someone’s back unpaid property taxes. In New Jersey it can be done with a few caveats. The owner has a certain number of years in which they can pay off all the property taxes up to date, from which the person who paid the prior unpaid taxes gets reimbursed. But, if the time limit expires with nothing from the owner, then an add must be placed in local papers serving notice that the property is about to change hands due to unpaid property taxes. Then after the “due notice” time has lapsed the person who paid the unpaid property taxes and all properrty taxes since can get a free title to the property.
I knew someone in south Jersey who acquired quite a number of properties in that way, all but two of which were undeveloped properties. However, they only built on two of the other properties and over time they eventually became “land poor” - paying taxes on undeveloped land they could not afford to develop and which had issues that meant development costs were going to be higher than average, which was not attracting buyers.
It's surreal! Our Greatest Generation and most recent servicemen and women risked and lost life, limb, skin, and/or sanity to defend against threats on foreign soil that the domestic left has now brought upon us. We're losing our right to self defense, to property, and even to our own children. This will not stand.
We’re hoping to build an ADU on our daughter’s lot in a few yrs. Right now our city doesn’t allow it unless you’re on the outskirts of the town, but hopefully that’ll change by the time we’re ready to build. Makes so much sense, especially if your family is close. Our SIL thinks of us as his actual parents and our grandchildren are still young enough to benefit from having grandparents a mere few yards away from them.
I saw this story on YouTube. The homeowner was carrying a bag that said Black Lives Matter, so I’m pretty sure she’s a brain-dead NY liberal.
Ok, with your permission, it’s going to be a booby trap. Hmmm, now let me think how best to do this.....
It looks like there will be some research in your future. I could help you out with quilting or piano, but booby traps ... not so much.
