Hoarders? Where?
>> What right does Gov’t have to even be involved in such an issue.
They’re just looking out for themselves — because if you have too much stuff, it’s a problem for them to dispose of it all when they take your nice house away (THANK YOU EMINENT DOMAIN! THANK YOU SANDRA O’CONNOR!) and force you into that 400 square foot apartment in the “sustainable urban living” high rise.
The good news is, you’ll have solar power! Cool huh?
I’d love to hear how policemen are “stakeholders” in this affair. Actually, I’d love to hear how the state considers itself a “stakeholder”.
Wow, the benevolent state, always waiting in the wings to straighten people out.
They’re getting into everything to collect info about what they consider political enemies or suspects.
Who has what, where and how much. Share the data with all gubmit agencies, et voila, they can confiscate anything and everything in no time!
I think it really depends on the property. If it is in residential and the house is filled with filth (or a townhome, apartment) that creates problems for the surrounding taxpayer (vermin). If we are talking 10 acres, its none of the states business (unless there are kids involved but Delaware should already have a CPS).
Will they enter Joe Biden’s house a decade from now to find him buried in old campaign posters and paper cups from 7-11?
Usually there are definite signs ot hoarding, goods or animals. Visiting friends and children can’t walk through the house, bathrooms and kitchens are unusable. Animals from the house are a nuisance to the neighborhood. Odors, clutter, squalor.
But if they can’t show these things, here’s one more thing to acquire:
A sign to hang in your foyer that reads: “Come Back With A Warrant.”
Hoarders don’t just effect themselves. Their homes become filthy breeding grounds for all kinds of unpleasantness (rats, roaches, mold), they tend to stink up a neighborhood, and they rot out the property.
Are you kidding? It’s on TV. It’s a popular show. It’s trending everywhere. Everyone is talking about it.
We have to get involved. IT’S ON TV!!

Hoarders? Where?
so . . the military cant take over a private citizen’s house - but the guvmunt can take everything in it . .
Hoarding my hard earned wages would be a good start. They can stop that!
They’re coming to take us away HA HA!! And our guns too.
Hoarding as in keeping every bit of trash they’ve ever accumulated throughout their lives or hoarding as in preppers? Just like the TSA confiscating a tiny toy gun from a sockmonkey, this feel good task force will be confiscating preppers’ tp, cans of span and those aluminum ammo... for the children and condors, of course.
Hoarding isn’t storing. Hoarders don’t throw trash away like already eaten food with roaches everywhere, empty boxes, bags of trash every where so they can’t walk in their house except for a little trail. There is a reality show about hoarders. They aren’t storing water and food. It’s a filthy mess they have. I think that is what that state means.
That said, the word “hoarders” could be used by Hussein to mean anything he wants.
Hoarding is a behavior on the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. Why must government be involved, do you ask? If you want a free society, its members must have sound minds. So the state CAN have a role in managing mental illness without seeming imprudent.
However, of course, the state has grown well beyond where it can be trusted with such at this time, so it is best to leave mental health management to local governments (sigh).
When you think about it, does anybody really think Delaware needs a task force to google “hoarding OCD” on the computer???
