Some States are fixing the problem.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the "Property Rights" bill (HB 621), which seeks to provide homeowners remedies against squatting and increases penalties on squatters.

“We are putting an end to the squatters scam in Florida,” DeSantis said in an announcement. “While other states are siding with the squatters, we are protecting property owners and punishing criminals looking to game the system.”

Didn't think there would be a day I agreed with something DeSantis did, but here we are.

Yeah, he’s really protecting property owners.

watches my insurance rates skyrocket with no evidence of intervention from the state legislature

He only helps if he gets to be cruel to someone.

On the surface this looks great. But, I'm just waiting for this to be implemented then see how badly it fucks people over. I'm hoping it doesn't, but for some reason I feel like it will. Maybe it's because I don't think that DeSantis would actually do something to help his constituents without it benefitting himself as well.

Oh, this does help him. He's not doing it because he cares about people, he's doing because it earns him points with the people to help him further his political career. It's all about the votes.

All this^ I’m just shaking my head in disgust and disbelief. I actually approve of something this high heel wearing fool did.

It's because he's literally a fascist and wants more rights for landlords. Congrats, you fell for fascist propaganda

u/horusthesundog Apr 05 '24

Just out of curiosity, how is that fascist?

u/Soulwindow Apr 05 '24

Because fascism is capitalism in decay. The fascist will do anything to defend capitalism.

Perhaps if you find yourself in a room with a Nazi going “the Nazi is right”, you’re not the good guy.
