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.

I think the most shocking story I read about squatters in NYC was a couple who went on vacation for two weeks and came back and the squatters have moved in. They both couldn’t even get in to get their laptops, and files to do their business when they returned, and the police wouldn’t let them get any of their belongings, items in their safe, and car keys. They lost everything including their home. And the law was on the side of the squatters.
When are about 150 home owners with weapons going to stand up and fight for their God given rights and property? Oh, that’s right, they voted for this crap.
Seems communist.
To paraphrase JFK: Those who make peaceful resolution of such impositions impossible, make violent resolution inevitable.
Hardly.
This all reminds me of scenes from Dr. Zhivago, I was wondering when it would come to that, I guess it has in New York.
If squatters are careless and accidentally burn down the home they occupy, does the insurance settlement go to the squatter, or to the homeowner? Asking for a friend.
When squatters move into the high society types and the politicians mansions, laws will change quickly.
There was some brave talk in an earlier thread about NYC squatters. Baseball bats, ax handles, guns, castle doctrine, the five NY criminal families, late night visits by several big, hairy friends...all mentioned as solutions to this problem.
This should run off those anonymous bloviators. You can’t even turn off the utilities YOU’RE PAYING FOR...or you’ll go to jail.
And yet I'd bet the Republican vote this fall won't increase by more than 10%, if that.

Pro tip: Don’t call the police and report “squatters” when encountered.
Organize. Do it anyway. What’s the worst that can happen? You get out immediately with no bail and a clogged up court system. Flood the courts.
Why not go a step further and kick them out and have them charged for criminal damage and sue civilly. You won’t get anything but you get your property back.
Stop paying the bills. Let the utility services turn them off.
Seems??
The middle class is being targeted for no other reason than it’s the middle class. Lenin would be delighted.
Like in Dr Zhivago?
Total insanity and a violation of the 3rd Amendment
Just wait until the illegal aliens figure out that they can do nightly raids on suburban homes to terrorize homeowners to flee. Then occupy the empty houses. Welcome newcomers.
This is aimed at Maga people.
And there is someone coming up with this c r a p.. It is not Joe.. He’s not there.
They are gonna get these invaders to vote too.
And someone at least say the t word.. Just so I will know you are awake.
