Who says you can’t have both a Porsche and a house?
Everywhere you look, it seems, there’s another story about squatters. When they’re not settling down in an abandoned house or store, they’re taking over buildings without the rightful owners’ permission–sometimes displacing, or at least scaring the pants off–the rightful occupants.
This week on Long Island, NY, sheriff’s deputies had to dispossess “Porsche-driving squatters” from an abandoned home (https://nypost.com/2024/04/13/us-news/porsche-driving-long-island-squatters-evicted-by-sheriffs-deputies/). Porsche, eh?
The house was foreclosed a decade ago and has been unoccupied for years, the owning family having died out. The Porsche-driving pair, The New York Post reports, “duped a judge” (forged signature, etc.) and moved themselves, a toddler, and their belongings (big flat-screen TV included) into the house.
Well, at least nobody else was already living there.
What harm did it do? Authorities called the house “unliveable.” No heat, no electricity (bummer for the big-screen TV), no hot water, no working bathroom–in short, not the kind of place for raising a toddler.
Sheriff’s deputies had to cut the locks and carry all the couple’s belongings out of the house. The man carried their dog. Yes, they had a dog there, too.
There’s more of a housing crisis these days than you’ve heard. It’s not all just crazy people, drug addicts, and illegal aliens cluttering up the sidewalk. Some are families left high and dry by Bidenomics. Cutting the pipeline made all prices go up across the boards, including home prices.
Everyone except a very small elite at the tippy-top of the pyramid suffers when Democrats run the show.
