The woke city of New York is being overrun by rampant crime, illegal immigrants, and now squatters thanks to a law that turns them into tenants after 30 days.
New York City homeowners are being pushed to financial limits that allow squatters to live rent-free. At the same time, the owners are forced to keep paying electricity and maintenance bills for the apartments.
Under New York City law, anyone who lives in a home or apartment for at least 30 days can claim squatter’s rights, even if they broke into the property without permission from the owner.
Squatters are taking advantage of New York City laws while homeowners go broke.
Several homeowners told CBS that they would be “arrested instantly” if they were to change the locks, evict the squatters, or turn off necessities such as hot water. They are forced to pay for the upkeep of the homes while squatters, many of whom are illegal immigrants, get to live in them for free.

Ya know I think that you’re right. If a squatter took over my house and I ejected him with a shot gun, I’m quite sure my neighbors would not say a thing.

They just need to hire this guy:

Sign a lease with a specialist, he moves in with his team, squatters are generally gone within a day.
Sad that it has come to this.

That's a great thought. But then, I could see the squatters running a garden hose to the neighbor's water spigot to get water, tapping into the neighbor's electrical, maybe even their cablevision. Lookout 3rd world...here we come...

You can shoot the power meter from a distance, and under concealment. With the law stacked for squatters, you need all the deniability you can get 😜
