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.

Don’t pay the bill - then it’s the company turning it off and not the owner.
The only difference is there are no Soviet commissars managing each building, yet.
What a hell hole. FL is full yall.
“Seems communist.”
It is... In fact the primary first and second definitions of Communism. Local government is using the courts to proclaim their ownership and redistribute wealth as public property in common.
communism-noun
1 a: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
b: a theory advocating elimination of private property

What in the absolute H3LL is going on with this ridiculousness??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw one, where a home owner got smart and brought a bunch of snakes on his property and the squatters left.
New protected class—illegal aliens. Who needs blacks when you have them to cast their mail in votes for you?
There’s creative and legal ways to deal with this.
Adapt - Improvise - Overcome
Dear Squatters,
I have 3 homes, that means 2 are empty when I am not there. IO am old and a LIFE Sentence for Murder will not be a very long sentence for me.
Good Luck
The key word is, YET.
Had my first squatter experience this week
my neighbors sister (who I also know) and her husband, bought a condo in another state, and were moving into it, leaving their first home empty for a couple months, in preparation to sell it
I know the area well, and have been to their house. In the past two months, squatters moved in. Its a nice house, in a nice neighborhood - which of course doesn’t matter to these squatter parasites.
In fact, it probably helps the squatters - because middle class white people are polite and nice and afraid too offend even if they see something isn’t right
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
I would argue that the state or municipality, by threatening arrest or else if the aggrieved will not foot the bill for the squatters constitutes a form of involuntary servitude.
"nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Since the state/municipality is now inserting itself between the owner and the property, it could be argued it is an illegal taking.
Men can be women. Squatters can be owners. Illegal immigrants are newcomers. Parents and pro-lifers are terrorists. Carry on.
I am sure that thought has already crossed some people’s minds.
Since the few Conservative folks in NYC have already moved to Conservative States, it will be a long time before the NYC Progressives realize they have committed suicide.
Hardly? What’s NYC, like 96% democrat?
I’m betting many summer homes in the Hamptons have been empty for months.
New York is lost to the free world. Gone. If you are a producer, and not a taker, the government of NY has just confiscated your property from you and has forced you into slavery. It is taking your assets from you and giving them to your replacements.
It’s a marxist dream come true. Eliminate the middle class after taking all its money. It’s happening.
There is no recourse. You will go to jail if you try to stop them from taking what you have worked for all your life. It’s the end of the Noble Experiment, one state at a time.
As I’ve said before....... the Biden (Obama, Soros) plan..... DESTROY AMERICA!!
This is a clear demonstration that their government has become their enemy. It’s all about the census and letting illegal migrants pour into the city - but they’ve no plan to house them. Hence this garbage.
When people were asked about ‘immigrants’ (omitting the world ‘illegal’), they were all for it. When they were asked if they would house one of them they all answered “I don’t have the space”. Now the government isn’t even asking. They’re deliberately displacing the legal citizens.
It’s nothing short of treason. The cops are culpable too - they’re “just following orders”.
