I hope some hobo squats in michigancats car making him unable to move it across the street every day and he gets a years worth of tickets

another way to do this would be for the people parked in front of and behind michcat to simply engage their parking brakes

You have to remember that michigancat doesn't believe in property ownership

If I mostly just lived in SF and NY I’d probably think property ownership is only some urban legend.

LOL at the idea that Abbott wouldn’t be advocating for gun violence in property disputes if squatters had more rights.

[I_have_purplewood]

This has to be a trap of some sort so I refuse to give my thoughts on the matter.

I probably lean more Abbott than not on the idea of coming home to someone claiming my home is theirs and refusing to leave.

is this a thing all of a sudden because of tiktok? I genuinely don't know how squatters rights entered the right wing discourse

I assume, as always, Fox News.

The whole idea of squatters rights was the idea that Indians couldn’t take care of the land or use it right.

It’s been all over Reddit for months. Not in a left or right way, but in a “this happened to me and it’s mumped up” way.

I’ve heard that r/conservative interviewers you to make sure you’re a believer before allowing you to join.  You might have her check it out.

I will not do that. My mom thought her TV was broken for a year before we discovered the HDMI cable wasn't plugged in. She wouldn't be able to navigate reddit.

you should probably have to call the cops first but if they refuse to help you, you should be able to shoot someone squatting on your property.  there's no way to accidentally squat, it's a very deliberate crime.

[BIG APPLE CAT]

As much as I’m a radical leftist, I don’t have a problem with the idea that you should be able to defend yourself in your home without risk of being charged criminally.

That said, I’m sure Gregory has a very broad interpretation on who has standing in such cases. Some guy from the next county over will drive in to defend an auto zone he’s never been inside and doesn’t know the owner.

Also, I’d bet dollars to donuts the “I took my family on a wholesome vacation and when we got home squatters had stolen our home!” Is going to be 2024’s litter box in the classroom fiasco

Yes. That doesn't really happen. Our property law is based on English Common Law, which in fact DID have a general policy of putting property to productive use, hence the Rule Against Perpetuities. It grew out of feudal times. I don't think it's all that burdensome to evict squatters. But also, use your rough ridin' property, folks.

[LickNeckey]

from a functional perspective squatting it either takes a significant amount of wealth or exceptionally unique circumstances to be affected by a squatting incident

[sys]

i mean, these are in the news because in some states, it doesn't.  your house is vacant and some bad person breaks in, claims he has a lease and you're mumped.  it takes months to evict them.

But like, what is the dollar impact of those assholes annually? I imagine there are plenty of thefts with greater impact.

Do you think stealing a $500 item from someone’s bag at the gym should be treated similar to stealing a $500 from their bedroom?

I'm talking about total dollar impact, not impact per crime. I'm assuming squatting isn't terribly common and has a low dollar impact, unlike stealing from gym bags or bedrooms. But I'm not sure! Like I really only knew this was being discussed because of this thread and headlines about those Malibu squatters
