"One of the homeless mothers who has been living in a vacant West Oakland house since Nov. 18 scoffed Saturday night at an offer by the house's owner to pay to move them out and shelter them for the next two months, calling the offer "an insult.""

They want to buy the house, but they don't want to pay for it.

The owner needs 'Squatter Begone' fumigants. Maybe some of Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candles will do the trick.

Exactly why reparations. Honky fucks.

The 'squatters rights' laws supports them more than the owner


One does not simply squat on it to get title to a property. I've looked into the process after noticing some genuinely abandoned rural properties here in California. They'd have to start by paying all of the back property taxes and maintaining them current. They'd have to conspicuously and continuously use the property for something on the order of 5 years. Then they'd have to prevail in a quiet title action. (ETA They could invest all of this time money and effort, jump through all the legal hoops, and STILL not get title, even without another living person claiming senior interest in the property at any point in the proceedings.)

None of these things matter, because the squatters are due to be evicted by the sheriff within 5 days. I hope the owner gives the squatters NOTHING when this happens, but a big press conference declaring, "You being insulted by my offer was itself a greater insult," then puts on a Willy Wonka hat and shouts, "You get NOTHING! Good DAY!"

“The judge's ruling means the mothers have five business days before the Alameda County Sheriff will evict them....After Friday's court ruling, Moms 4 Housing posted on Twitter that "The moms, and the community behind us, will not leave the property."

The sheriff will remove them if they don’t leave. It’s good to know that the rule of law prevails at the end of the day.

You may be confusing "Squatter's Rights" with "Adverse Possession."

The people in the article are the ones who have it twisted. The tenants' "squatters rights" have run their course, hence the imminent eviction. They apparently thought they had the rights of someone who had prevailed at the adverse possession process.

I hope they don't cause deliberate damage to the property on their way out.

What do you do with people who can't even do free shit right?
11   Ceffer   2020 Jan 18, 8:06am  

What happened to the dignity of stealing shit with righteous indignation? Why wait for third party free shit from the Guv when you can seize your own?

Don't they realize that being knocked up in a ditch confers sanctity and privilege?

The house was worth more than $1,000.

A University of California-Los Angeles professor made her views on climate change public in a recent op-ed, questioning American private homeownership in response to climate change, particularly California’s forest fires.

Professor Kian Goah, assistant professor of urban planning at UCLA, whose expertise includes urban ecological design, spatial politics, and social mobilization in the issues of climate change and global urbanization, argued in an op-ed for The Nation that what makes the California forest fires even worse is urban planning. Its subtitle reads, "if we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership."

“Yes, climate change intensifies the fires—but the ways in which we plan and develop our cities makes them even more destructive. The growth of urban regions in the second half of the 20th century has been dominated by economic development, aspirations of homeownership, and belief in the importance of private property,” she writes.

How about questioning Tenure?

The founding fathers gave us the 2@ so we could defend our homes.
There's no reason to ever be a victim of it. Just walk in start doing spring cleaning, getting junk out of the house, and shoot the first intruder that tries to stop you.
Pro Tip aim for the head, so the Commie Theif can't lawyer up with his Liberal Lawyer fuck and meth buddy and sue you.

"Congratulations to Professor Goah, for reducing Urban Planning to the dog's breakfast babble mouth standards of Ethnic and Sexual Diversity studies with bullhorn propaganda agenda dressing!"

Forced to pay $300 for the pleasure of having a homeless encampment near their house.
