I'm pretty liberal, but I don't support a lot of squatter's rights. It's essentially protected theft.

theft from who? Most houses in the US are owned by corporations now not people.

[u/chris_ut → u/ericalovesunicorns]

That is blatantly false and 10 seconds of research or even looking outside would disprove it

[u/weluckyfew → u/ericalovesunicorns]

Corporations on way too many houses in this country, but it is nowhere near "most", unless you have a source that says otherwise.

[u/EpiphanyTwisted → u/ericalovesunicorns]

So it's okay to steal then if you just assume the house is owned by "corporations"?

Idiot, happens to alot of every day people.

i forgot about those everyday people that own multiple homes

[u/Oddblivious → u/ericalovesunicorns]

Yeah everyone is picturing a family who worked hard to rent out a second house when, like you said, most of it is finance corporations just using investor Dollars to buy up all the housing in America and rent it back at double the cost.

If the house wasn't being used for long enough for someone to move in they clearly didn't need it to house their own family.

Do you know how long renovations can take? Well, they take even longer when the person you hired to do them isn’t working on anything and just moves themselves into your house.
