Elias Pettersson Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) 6 hours ago, Sabrefan1 said: There are cases of that happening in the US where it took well over a year to evict squatters. Everyone on this board has always said that Canada is soft on criminals so I hope that your politicians come to their senses and change the squatter laws soon. Apparently a big issue with squatters is that they can acquire an illegal deed on your home, so that they actually become the homeowner. This isn’t possible in Canada under our Torrens system unless they are able to steal your indefeasible title certificate, but most people keep that at the Land Title office so it can’t be stolen. Another problem is that squatters can also fake a lease agreement. So it looks like they are the actual tenants of the property. This is why it takes so long to evict them, the homeowner has to go through the tenancy branch in order to get the Supreme Court to actually evict them through a bailiff. It looks like Florida is now bypassing the civil claim procedure and having to go through the tenancy board and now maiking it a criminal offence where the sheriff’s office can immediately get involved and arrest the squatters. Texas is also similar as squatting is now deemed a criminal offence. Would be nice if every state in the US and every province in Canada were on the same page… Edited March 31 by Elias Pettersson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place we rented the owner would come once a month to collect the rent and bring along her two spider monkeys. My mom was scared of them. The rent got paid. Turns out my Chinese year is yup the monkey. 63/64 years later I started having a heart attack and made it to emergency just in time to tell the emergency nurse that I was having an attack and that I was going down. I proceeded to fall and flatline. Two zaps later I came around. Got a scenic flight to Kelowna and a day later had 2 stents put in. A day later I am chatting with my nurse and she tells me she is from Calgary. Knowing many people from Calgary living in a place that many of their rich families vacation I asked her for her last name. She says that she doesn’t usually give out her last to patients but she says her last name and I said that we used to rent a place from a lady by that name and that she had monkeys. Turns out her granddaughter was my nurse. Life is crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Hillary coined the best phrase for Trump cultists back in 2015. I was against her calling them that back then, but after almost 10 years these fucks are truly deplorable bunch. Maybe some of them were disillusioned with the political system back in 2016, and thought they were voting for change. After watching that turd over the last 8-9 years and you are still voting for him, you are truly deplorable piece of shit.

Any political party has issues and problems and can be blamed for lot of things. Trump is ignorant and he appeals to other ignorant American voters. He has also stirred up the underbelly of this country and energized those that were rightfully marginalized. If he is elected again, it will be like having a guy holding a lit blowtorch inside of munitions storage. GWB was a terrible president but I wouldn’t describe him as reckless. Even other GOP presidential candidates like Romney or McCain are and were decent people. Any way you look at it, Trump is just a bad guy. Proven liar, crook, adulterer, narcissist, arrogant, pompous, vengeful, demeaning, criminal etc. I am trying to think of one positive characteristic of his and I can’t think of any.

Sorry my friend… I will always suggest people moving to a city they can afford rather than stealing a place to live in somewhere they can't afford.

Use that money to get to where you can work and live. People are leaving the decent parts of Southern California in droves, and moving to states like Texas, because they can no longer afford the skyrocketing cost of living. They're not marching on over to Beverly Hills and squatting in the mansions there. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopeful that middle of the road GOP members will not vote Trump. Much of his support is a reaction to progressive policies that challenge traditional American values. Still hoping for a middle coalition of Dems and GOP. I would be surprised if conversations aren’t happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California elite enraged after squatters invade $5M home in LeBron James, Jennifer Lopez's luxury neighborhood | Fox News California elite enraged after squatters invade $5M home in LeBron James, Jennifer Lopez's luxury neighborhood LeBron James reportedly 'very concerned' about the squatting issue Wealthy Californians in a neighborhood on the outskirts of Beverly Hills are reportedly enraged after a $5 million home was invaded by squatters and became a source of rowdy parties. Beverly Grove is home to the elite of the elite in California. A-list celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and LeBron James, entrepreneurs, hedge-fund investors, heiresses, and studio executives own homes in the quiet cul-de-sac. That was until squatters invaded in October and locals started complaining about them allegedly throwing "wild parties" with "cocaine and orgies." The neighbors are getting fed up, including reportedly James, according to a report in New York Magazine's Curbed. "One of the neighbors got in touch with LeBron James’s house manager. They were told James was very concerned," the report said. A tech entrepreneur, Rick Rankin, who lived nearby said, "I wasn’t born yesterday. They’re jittery; their eyes are spinning. They were clearly on something." The report referenced an unnamed "producer" who questioned, "Who the f--- are these people squatting in the most exclusive Zip Code in America?" At one point, the producer confronted the squatters, one of whom brazenly greeted him saying, "Hi, I’m your new neighbor," when he brought police over to the residence. "You’re not my new neighbor. Go f--- yourself," the producer responded. The ordeal began when a real estate agent of a $5M home, John A. Woodward IV, was notified by one of the pool workers that a U-haul truck had pulled up. The agent immediately went to the property. He found that the locks had been changed and the FOR SALE sign was gone. Police then informed Woodward that their hands were tied because it was a "civil matter" since squatters produced what they claimed was a rental agreement. According to the report, the locals are fired up – complaining every single day among themselves about the squatters and haranguing the association to do something about it. "The neighbors heard through the grapevine that someone from the [George Gascón] DA’s office, apparently having heard about the situation at 1316, had said, ‘Squatters have rights.’ This set the group chat aflame. ‘Welcome to California,’ one wrote. ‘Thanks Liberals,’" Curbed reported. According to USA TODAY, the sprawling residence was previously owned by an orthopedic surgeon, Munir Uwaydah, who fled to Lebanon after he was accused in the murder of his 21-year-old model girlfriend Julianna Redding. "These squatters have been here since October, charging rents for rooms and throwing massive parties all night long," the real estate agent previously said. "I just want to get this house sold to satisfy the court." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing there are cities in the states where some folk believe it’s their right to live there, and government should provide affordable housing for them? There are places people can afford, but they need to be willing to move to those spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
