From last month in Nashville. Entertaining story of how a squatter moved into a home and would not leave. The city of Mt. Juliet was powerless, the banks were not interested. The media finally got something done. This is an example of the media doing something helpful. This squatter has a way with TV news crews. LOL | ||

Since that prick needs a place to live, just dump his worthless, squatting ass, in the joint. I hate those thieves. Happens here in NY all the time. Another circumstance where the victim is further victimized by the state. Pieces of shit. Foster's, Australian for Bud | |||

I wonder what the bank thinks it was doing. 2 years after foreclosure of the prior owner is a long time to be indecisive. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

My house was vacant for 4 years after prior owners foreclosed. Not only did the bank let it sit for years, they had to gut/remodel to make it an inhabitable residence. I got a bargain! | |||

There was a house on my street that was foreclosed several years ago. Maybe two years ago in the winter I was walking past it and heard water running. This was a lot of water to hear it from the street. I walked up and looked in a basement window. There was at least a foot of water in there. Called the county and the fire department came out. They cracked the door and went in. water company came out they turned it off at the street. That house sat empty for a few years. They had to gut the basement and I'm sure deal with mold. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

I've had an up and down time with my neighbors. Not long after I moved in, the woman next door was put in a home, and her useless family fought over the house and it was eventually foreclosed on. After that it probably sat vacant for two years, and some squatters moved in. They had 5 dogs they let live in the crawlspace under the house. They "installed" air conditioning by dropping a huge central unit in the middle of the back yard and knocking out a window, and running the duct work into the window. They mostly kept to themselves, but I sure didn't try to interact with them because they were bat shit crazy. After another year or so, they either got booted out or left. I don't really know what happened to them, they just disappeared overnight. After that, the house sat vacant for another couple of years. The bank sent someone out to literally bush hog the yard whenever the grass got waist high and the city jumped on them. Including the time the squatters were there, the house was probably in foreclosure 6 or 7 years before it was finally auctioned. I talked to the guy that finally bought it, and he let me go inside. It was a total wreck, I'm really surprised it wasn't condemned. There were holes in the floor, and entire sections of the wall joists and all had been knocked out around the house. It was the nastiest dwelling I've ever seen in person, and I shoveled trash out of the attic of mine with a snow shovel when I got it. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

Around here a big problem has developed with "bank owned" property. They foreclose, but refuse to place the deed/title in their name. That way if building code violations occur, the foreclosed upon former owner gets the citations. If the grass gets too long, no one bothers. No one to complain about. The bank skates on its responsibility. The neighborhood deteriorates. Where I live, they've taken a half step. When the yard gets too the point where its a hay field, they send the owner of "record" a love note. If by some chance it actually reaches the person who cares, it might get cut. Or not. The neighbors don't even have a legal right to cut the mess. But over the last few years, the city has hired contractors/lawn mowing companies to cut the worst offenders. I have the mixed pleasure of living next to one of the examples. The owner already has had one of her "castles" demolished. This one isn't that bad yet. The girl just ignores maintenance but has her own mowing company who does a good job. We're at the pealing paint and missing shingle point now. The trash that moved out 12 years ago (4th of July, 2005) were awful. They didn't mow the law either. My wife now tells me to deal with it. Being vacant is better than trash. Its ripe for squatters to move in. An example of how bad it was, a few years ago there were 2 cops sneaking around outside. I walked out on my deck and asked if I could help them. The cop nearest me told me to get back inside, there may be someone inside. Having seen no one come or go for over a year, I asked him why he thought that. He said the back door was open. Not a biggie, it had been open for months. They relaxed. The other cop climbed up to the open door and went in. He came out the front door and said it had no latch to keep it closed. So he picked up a nice rock and went back inside.  Then he said "fixed it". They left.Unhappy ammo seeker | |||
