He may be hopelessly liberal ;but lately he is more right than wrong.

The issue today is squatter's rights. His opinion ;they aint got none.

"Squatters have no rights . How can you even pretend that this is anything other than you're just breaking the law?"

He compared it with someone stealing a car and legally holding possession for months .

“It’s wild, that if you go away on a long trip, for 30 days, and someone breaks into ]your home and suddenly they have rights,” he sad. “This is crazy. Like if somebody stole your car, and then they held it for 30 days, then somehow you now have some rights?"

This comes after the Washington Compost said that squatter stories are right wing talking points

The national conversation around “squatters” has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, spurred by conflicts that have gone viral and legislative actions in at least four states.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) last week signed a bill aimed at giving Floridian homeowners, as he put it, “the ability to quickly and legally remove a squatter from a property,” while Georgia, South Carolina and New York have introduced legislation cracking down on people who illegally take over homes.




Squatting is extremely rare, according to experts — so rare that there is no reliable data available on the number of squatters across the country. But with a handful of high-profile cases of property owners going to court to evict illegal residents, a right-wing media frenzy and the introduction of state bills, the topic has become ubiquitous.

I don't know the situation in Florida . I know someone who was forced to pay rent for months in San Diego, after he moved out of an apartment ,because a squatter would not leave. The local laws were heavily stacked in favor of the squatter.
