Recently, squatters took over a Beverly Crest mansion and turned it into a wild party house where hundreds of rowdy guests would show up every night.
In February, another group of squatters took over a Hollywood Hills mansion and used the property to produce OnlyFans content.
I hope these are the squatters he’s focusing on and not desperate homeless people who found an unoccupied 2 bedroom house to sleep in.
Yeah, he needs to focus on homeowners who can afford to pay him, not those pesky middle income people
“Pesky middle income people” who own a house in L.A. that they aren’t using?
He goes all over California
Which part of California does he go to where “pesky middle income people” have homes just sitting empty?
If a home is unoccupied, it should be a squatter’s right to occupy it.
If you can’t be arsed to find a tenant for a place, that place should be open season for tenants!
So let me get this straight.
If I spend my hard earned cash on a house. For any reason I leave for a while. Maybe my work requires I relocate for. (It doesn’t matter what the reason is). Because I’m not there that means you can move in?
Talk about seriously entitled.
What’s even more entitled is you thinking you have a right to shelter you don’t even use when hundreds of thousands nation-wide cannot afford shelter due to people like you hoovering up unused homes.
You know what your attitude is called? Parasitical and greedy.
Do you extend this sentiment to vehicles too? If I drive to work and park my car there, is it morally correct for someone to come steal it because they want to drive somewhere or sleep in it but don’t have a car? After all, it’s just sitting there unused, so I must be some entitled asshole for expecting it to be there when I’m ready to head home, right?
I also find it funny you chose the words parasitical and greedy when these squatters are quite literally feeding off the homeowners and selfishly taking something that doesn’t belong to them. Your argument is not too different from a CEO who wants to cut worker pay and give himself a bigger bonus with the money.
I agree with you. How does one apply this logic to homes but not to cars, phones, bikes or anything else?
cars, phones, bikes
Since when are those essential to life, or whose availability constantly/consistently mean the difference between life and death?
Food, shelter, and clothing are the essentials that should have a base tier that anyone can leverage at low to no cost. Anything else is superfluous.
Theft is theft. I do not care if it’s a bike a phone or house .
In my example what I was talking about was, while I was away I rented a placed for temporary lodging.
And that is vacuuming up lodging?
I still say you are entitled.
But moving on. Have a good day
There are more empty homes in the United States than there homeless people.
But the market says the problem is there isn’t enough home building going on. What a joke of a world we live in.
