Squatters are thieves and criminals so they naturally align with Democrats. Law breakers are a core constituency of the Democrat party.
“What passes muster in New York and California isn’t passing muster here,” said DeSantis. Peeples had won; but how, she wondered, had her cause suddenly been turned into a political cudgel for conservatives?”
Perhaps because Democrats in many states are DEFENDING THE SQUATTERS - so go ask the Democrats, instead of blaming Republicans like DeSantis.
Marxist love them. They see them as proto-revolutionaries.
“You would think that would be a uniting issue. Maybe the pro-squatters have never actually worked to buy their own property.”
Why? Property rights are the basis of freedom in America. Once the Democrats come up with a strategy, they will challenge EVERY BILL designed to end squatting in the courts and their judges will give the victories. Just watch...
Yes. Let’s test this by sending squatters and Central American gang member and rapist illegal aliens to live in their places.
I’m sure NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) will come to the fore quickly.
One of the Marxist goals is abolishment of all property rights. Klaus Schwab said “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.”
The collectivists have been allowed to run rampant for far too long.
Unfortunately, sometimes good people who thought they were entering in to a legitimate contract get swindled because the lease turned out to be fake and the "landlord" (who they'd been paying money to) has no ownership of the property.
All the more reason to do your due diligence when renting a place to live.
“1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has plenty of room for squatters.”
There is one in the White House right now claiming he is President. He calls himself Joe Biden.
But fail to get jabbed or wear a mask and off to jail!
Above is a Daily Mail article about it.
It is in Bellevue, Washington state.
The county, under the guise of tenant’s fair rights act or whatever have given the squatter another few months to live there. The court also granted the squatter a restraining order against the landlord - the landlord has to stay 1000 feet from the property. A $2 million dollar home that he owns!
The squatter and his wife make over $400k a year. The squatter paid the first and last month’s rent when he signed the lease. He hasn’t paid anything since for over a year.
There have been protests outside the home for the last couple of weekends. Home is on a nice suburban lot in a neighborhood.
Comrade Caprugina says thirteen families can live in that one house!
If he rented the property to someone who isn't paying his rent that's not a squatter issue and Florida's new law isn't about that. It's about someone illegally moving into someone else's property without permission and with no type of rental or lease agreement from the owner of the property.
There was a reason why our Founding Fathers only property voters could vote.
Most renters are liberals.
Most property owners are conservatives.
So obviously the liberal leftist scum are the ones who are doing these crimes. They worm their way into a place like a blood weevil.
Excellent point that the tenant not paying is different than a squatter. Although the outcome is probably the same for the landlord.
There was a guy in Portland, OR that found a lady camping on his property just down the hill and behind some trees in the home he lived in.
He told her to leave as she was trespassing. She cried and said she had all of her stuff here and she can’t just leave, and asked for a couple of days so she could move her stuff. The homeowner, being a nice guy, said yes.
Well, a few days passed and she had not moved anything or left. The guy called the police and he explained the situation. Turns out that because he didn’t kick her off right away and allowed her to stay - she wasn’t trespassing anymore. It turned into a “tenant” relationship so she had a month or more before she had to move, he had to provide legal notice, etc.
Strip them of everything, including their pride, and throw then aside naked to try & survive. If they do, repat wash & rinse until they day they die. 🙁
The Florida dem politicians are just mad that repubs beat them to making it a partisan issue to hopefully help get votes.
“Peeples had won; but how, she wondered, had her cause suddenly been turned into a political cudgel for conservatives?”
Also because voters are talking to their representatives about squatters. Weigle tries to blame conservative media, but he himself acknowledges that the issue is covered frequently by local media. This coverage includes:
- a string of unrelated, sometimes frightening stories involving squatters, including one incident where a woman was killed by the people who had taken over her Manhattan apartment.
- reports of illegal aliens instructing other foreigners how to come into this country and commandeer property.
- viral stories in multiple states, including New York and Florida, about people seizing homes they don’t own, which is inspiring legislation to stop it.
- videos like the one on TikTok teaching others how they can utilize New York’s laws to their advantage.
Far from being a polical cudgel, these stories are prompting Democrats and Republicans alike to tighten up laws that protect renters so they cannot be abused by these illegitimate squatters.
It took me a day to get the Pacific Heights reference, LOL!
