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.

Pro tip: Don’t call the police and report “squatters” when encountered.
Squatters can be taken for a ride in the country.
My wife and I have been watching YouTube videos about real estate in Italy and Spain. All the houses are built like fortresses. Stone/masonry walls. Metal bars on all the ground floor windows. Many have shutters you can close too. Plus doors that are made of thick steel/wood combinations.
So no one can get in if you are not there.
At first I thought of this as a negative. Now, I think you will see this as a necessity in these Blue cities. That many of these things that we took for granite the last 50-100 years are changing. Especially, if you live in states controlled by liberals
But break into a Democrat politicians house.....
The owners don’t have to turn off the power and water, they just have to stop paying the bill.
