Based on this, idk how accurate it is because it's eforms, but uhhh yeah you're not gonna go on vacation and lose your home lol. Pretty much every single citation on there says at least 10 years.
apparently that happens a lot esspecially to service members

I've been around a LOT of service members and have NEVER heard a story like that. Ever. I've literally worked on a base, had a parent with a 20+ year career in it, been around alllllllllllllllll kinds of them, never heard that. Not saying it can't or doesn't, but I guarantee you the number is stupid low. What you DO hear is that their wives cheat on them or they cheat on their wives.

Sorry for the rant.

I take your word for it, because the more i read about it the more i am boiling. I just hope its not as pervasive as youtube makes it out to be. We have so many other problems these days. Honestly i hoped that we would have some peace after trump and the pandemic.

I am talking about ukraine. Then again I feel you cant really get angry at ukraine, because many nonwestern countries are resentful when they get asked for help because we westerners are pretty indifferent to so many unknown wars with lots of atrocities happening all around outside the first world.

Did you know that boko haram killed 2000 nigerians on the same day they attacked charlie hebdo offices in paris? Je suis charlie but not je suis baga. That rant has nothing with the topic, and i dont even want to talk about the topic itself. I just know people can be horrible. Fucking pisces moon, there is so much suffering.

I wanna be a cap sociopath. Like being dead inside.

Squatters usually take over empty houses that are for sale. It's unusual to do it when someone is on vacation.

They will take over an empty house and change the locks. People will buy the houses and not have access to them and then need to go to court to get the people out, but the squatters have rights. I don't understand it myself.

Some squatters even end up owning empty houses if they are vacant for too long.

Typical America, where you can just walk up and claim something and now it's yours! smh

Yeah in reality what is happening is people are loosing their homes to foreclosure and then being deemed as 'squatters' once the bank takes possession. Or having their rent be raised 40-200% and being unable to pay... become 'squatters' and face forced evictions by the slum lord.

For the large corporations who are buying up mass properties, leaving them empty and derelict to drive down neighboring home prices in order to buy those up (its a common predatory practice here in our capitalist utopia) and obtain some squatters along the way, I feel no sympathy.

Even heard lyou rent an airbnb for longer than a month without a contract they can stay without paying n now owner has to go through eviction process taking six months


Eviction typically only takes 30-45 days here in ca where we have some of the strongest protections in place for squatters/tenants. So idk where you are getting your information.

Now if you threaten, use violence, or in other ways do illegal criminal actions against your squatters and tenants then absolutely the process for eviction will take longer. As it should because fuck you for being a massive ass.

I just discovered that there is such as thing as squatters rights in america. Home owners go on vacation, they come back

only to discover somebody lives there. And they can end up in jail if they remove them from their property. Just the thought

of finding strangers in my home makes me raging. Have you ever experienced something like that? That is fucked up.


This is also in Spain. It's the strangest thing really.. like whatever happened to contracts?!

Btw all squatters rights are is saying you can't remove people from your property by force aka violence. You need to go through the proper legal channels. Basically acknowledging the value of human life over property, a rare W for America.
