Squatters take over 1,200 homes in Atlanta, open illegal strip clubs and terrorize neighbors: ‘is this even America?’

Squatters are ruining entire neighborhoods in Atlanta and police response to evict is so slow, some homeowners have resorted to paying nuisances to leave.

Brazen squatters even opened an illegal strip club on a property they had taken over — one of the 1,200 homes which has been squatted in the city according to the National Rental Home Council (NRHC) trade group.

“I’d be terrified in Atlanta to lease out one of my properties,” Matt Urbanski, who manages a local home-cleaning company, told Bloomberg.

Urbanski’s company cleans out homes for corporate landlords, and in some cases has to remove squatter’s possessions.

Recently one of his employees was shot after attempting to remove intruders from a property.

Simon Frost, CEO of large-scale landlord Tiber Capital Group, said there have been incidents of unlawful occupants brandishing weapons and threatening neighbors which affects the safety of neighborhoods and other residents, according to Bloomberg.

Evicting squatters in Atlanta is tough, involving negotiating court backlogs and strained police resources.

Meanwhile, online listings and virtual real estate agents make it easy for squatters to identify vacant properties to break into.

I dont see what is preventing the owners from showing up with a gun and saying get out or I’ll shoot!

Oh I don't know, maybe something like going away to prison for 10 years.

Hard to feel sorry for people who stay in BLUE AREAS, like Atlanta. They should know by now what’s going on, and GET THE HELL OUT. And if their house is worth $500k, as in the case here, they sure as heck have options in Red Areas.

I can’t believe he actually thinks his post was sarcasm. lol

If a statement mixes an irrational concept with a rational concept it can’t sarcasm because the latter negates the former.

Thanks to all of the idiots that supported Joe Biden to keep the disaster going

At SOME point I hope the nation returns to law and order.

We won’t be voting our way out of this. Time to water the Tree of Liberty.

I doubt that pilot has ever had his hands on a game controller.

At least not that kind of game controller.

Property rights have been destroyed in this country, just like the Marxists intended. Wonder how many of these squatters are melanin-protected?

Especially for someone who has been here for over 20 years to not follow FR protocol.

Besides, that also means you know that one also is clueless that FR is NOT troll free regardless of sign up date.

And therein lies the problem.

The wrong people are being rewarded and punished.

Justice is now a foreign concept in this country.

Not quite done.

There is still the potential for an election this year. When that is canceled, then we’ll know for sure.

Satan has allowed the Manchurian Candidate to accomplish much destruction.

We shall see what this 2024 year brings.

Keep praying and looking up.

Ha! I remember that movie, with Michael Keaton, I assume stuff like that is happening a lot more today the higher Democrats raise housing costs with their taxes and open borders. New York city where I grew up is insane now. Back in 1996 I was renting a one bedroom in Astoria for $600 a month which is right across the east river from Manhattan. Now the same place goes for $3500 LOL
