Homeless Families Are Taking Over Vacant Homes to Protect Themselves From Coronavirus

- In most major American cities, residents have been told to stay home and avoid unnecessary contact with others to slow the spread of coronavirus.
But California has by far the largest homeless population in the United States, and while state and local jurisdictions have taken certain measures to protect the unhoused from COVID-19, the vast majority are being left in the lurch.
That’s why a group of families in Los Angeles decided to take matters into their own hands, forcing their way into a number of vacant homes owned by Caltrans, the state transit authority, in the East LA neighborhood of El Sereno.

Why hasn't California done this with it's already bad homeless issue??!
imagine coming home from your job just to find some racoons with their children have taken over you home.
What a shameless woman. why have kids when you cant even afford your own house
VICE News not saying what they’re doing is right or wrong but I’d like to point out the fact that I don’t live in CA because even though I can easily afford a 2 bedroom apartment, I refuse to pay that amount of money; therefore, I live in a safe area in a brand new apartment “luxury” gated complex with every amenity anybody could want. On the river .. for less than half...all they have to do is leave and move someplace more affordable.
@@subdiplomatic
I think you're commenting on another story.
This story is about a woman with a job. She takes care of elderly people.
Also no one was coming home to that house. It's owned by the taxpayers.
@@nicoletambasco9210
If you're happy where you are now, that great!
It's nice to have choices.
I can’t believe the state has bunch houses sitting empty for years.
Part of an infrastructure project. They always stall when trying to buy land for it.
in the US there are about 6 vacant houses for every homeless person
@@keit0017 ye and most of em are in Detroit...where people wouldt move in even if you paid them.
Midouha Greed. From homes to food. We used to get all that stuff from nature. Mankind has made it so we have to pay for everything now.
In merchantile societies, structured or institutionalized poverty is organized and proffered by the government so does this surprise anyone? Self important people may scoff and harass these unfortunates however, what they fail to acknowledge or deny is the fact that they, themselves are not immune and are one paycheck away from sharing the same fate.
Old schools would make great apartments. Like starter apartments for homeless families.
good luck going through the local Cali Housing regulation and red rapes
Why stop there? Take empty government buildings and warehouse buildings. Make mobs and break the laws the Mexican way...
A town local to me transform an old 2 story High School to a residential living area. Pretty smart.
@@CJ-fh5xq yep me too. Also in the mountains near me they converted an old school into an artistic commune. You rent studios and apartments and they have their own gallery and performance hall.
Another would be defunct malls. Those individual stores would be great places to put small flats. I’ve seen posts on social medias before about them and they turn out quite nice.
Problem is California has many billionaires and millionaires buying many expensive houses causing surrounding houses values to inflate. California is nice but too expensive.
Tampatec Here in New York it’s the same. What is defined as affordable housing is absolutely ridiculous, even in neighborhoods that are less desirable than others. If there is a part of the progressive platform that we have truly dropped the ball on is homelessness and affordable housing. We became too territorial to the point in where we have blocked off any ideas to provide a viable idea for affordable housing and the homeless in the city. We have swept it under the rug, and have turned into the very people we’ve fought against. We got ours, why should we care, even though the homeless New York population has increased. Why progressives haven’t fought harder on this issue is beyond me, and the numbers aren’t going to get any better. We are in desperate need of a solution, but no one wants to do a thing about it because of the “Not in my neighborhood” mentality. If not in your neighborhood, than where. We could do something about it, we just don’t want to lose our precious real estate to do so. It’s a shame.
If there was someone willing to do the research, they would uncover that the vast majority of California's apartment complexes, business buildings, property lots and family homes are owned by foreign investors. Who most likely have never stepped foot of those properties but instead they hire either American based or local property management firms to do the work typically done by the owners who live in this country. Just in my dads neighborhood, I know that the empty and vacant for now 20+ acres was purchased by a rich Chinese couple who likely bought it on a whim while here on vacation. I just hope they don't do what another rich foreign property owner did on the other part of town, build another one of those damn ugly track homes.
Brian OSullivan very well stated and I totally agree. With me being a native New Yorker, the homelessness has gotten worse and it’s sad to see, especially in the midst of this pandemic.
Dear Tampatec: I didn't learn until I moved to California from the East Coast how little of the state is considered a really desirable place to live. Most people where I grew up don't realize that by "California" they really mean that thin strip of beach front that runs from Oregon to Mexico. Anything more than 50 miles from the CA coast is in a desert climate. The coast has the desirable Mediterranean climate. The point is that there is lots of much cheaper housing as you go further inland, but the problem is that most people don't want to live there. I'm one of those people. ... jkulik919@gmail.com
Problem is some people are selfish
*Key statement "I'm willing to rent, but the rent must be affordable"* Why have so many vacant houses when people need a place to live?
It's cause all the killing in the 90's. Kill a cop kill a cop family kill a judge. Kill rap children and adults. Over breed. Breed out. This is why it happend daaa.
Because money is more important than giving homeless people a place to be safe.
Capitalism theres always profit to be made.
They need a land value tax.
@@ivanc9231 but yet democrats are incharge of that state soooooooo????
Make the homes affordable housing so the state makes some money instead of owning homes that are going to waste.
A.Emerson James
How? Let me buy a house for 200,000 and then only get maybe 50,000 for it which depress the housing values and can cause issues.
What they should do is either demolish the house and sell the land for a lot of money to recoup their investment or remodel the home and sell it for a modest profit. What you do not do is give it away to people who are already dipping into your pockets day in and day out.
Most of these people are not poor by accident but by choice. How many forget that sex leads to children or that spending all their money on crap and not saving can lead to being poor. I am Learning myself that saving and investing is how I can stay afloat.
Tell me... why is it that they cannot do the same? Are they stupid and if not then there is no excuse and they should not get a full house for free. Otherwise it diminishes the hard work of those who did not make everyday crappy decisions.
@@jacobstar2631 How would selling a home for lower than the assessed value depress housing values if there is no issue with the property? It's done all the time when a home switches titles or is sold to family members.
You don't intimately know these people portrayed in this video so how would you know how they became poor?
She could have been in a position to have kids with a long term partner then fled due to abuse, or her partner died, etc. You don't know her.
It looks like the mother has only essentials in her home. I don't see any Louis Vuitton bags, pets, or any luxury items in her home. You seem to forget that poverty is usually never a decision, especially when people are working. She fulfills an essential role in our society, yet you believe she is inferior to you because her paycheck isn't as big. If you just make your living by investing you are doing no actual work (providing intellectual or physical labour) therefore you're literally a drain on society. Go out and actually do something helpful for society instead of ratting on those less fortunate than yourself.
Don’t forget taxpayers money paid for those houses in the first place and it’s just sitting there pretty much our tax paying money going to Waste
Lies
Yes!
How
Remember the government lies to purchase land back...the federal government owns the most land..why aren't we building cities for these people to never have to deal with the out dated tool of money. People are going to rise against money soon and things will be given to those that find their part in life rather then cheat steal back stab manipulate and worse of all lie to make money...
Jeff myrick Do you even know the situation we’re in right now? About 17 million people are unemployed, how else are they going to pay their bills and rent when they don’t even have a job? Comments like yours prove that the US is full of greedy and weak ass bastards.
Every state is sitting on thousands of unused properties .That should be against the law
its not fair for people who bought their houses, why should people get houses for free?

@@synecdoche8783 why should people not have a roof over their heads when they sleep?
@Saffron Sinclair if they had money to buy a house they would have one
won't happen unless its regulated better and in a totally revolutionary way...
@@synecdoche8783, the problem is that with the bullshit way things are now, hardly anybody can AFFORD the existing houses, which are all quickly swooped up by international real estate agencies, get "flipped", and then get sold at a 300 - 400 percent "mark up!!!" Your point is MOOT!!! Back when your grandfather bought his house, even a WORKING-CLASS person could afford to buy a house!!!
In America, a person SHOULD be able to afford at least a small house on a workman's wages!!! And RENT used to be the more affordable option!!!! But now, no one can AFFORD to buy a house, and who the hell can afford to pay the skyrocketing RENTS!??!
Sir. You talk like a spoiled rich preppy SNOT. If those "squatters" could afford to somehow get off the streets, they would be just THRILLED to do so!!! You would be STUNNED at how many sheeple ( we're not "people" anymore ) in "socialist kalifornia" work 9 to 5 jobs ( maybe even two or three jobs!!! ) just to end up sleeping in their cars or tents!!! NO WORKMAN'S WAGES PAY ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE STAGGERINGLY HIGH RENTAL RATES, AND BETWEEN SKYROCKETING PROPERTY TAXES AND OTHER YEARLY DUES, VERY FEW PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO BUY AND KEEP A HOUSE, ANYMORE!!! CAPICHE?
AMERICA IS BROKEN, WHEN THE HOMELESS ARE FORGOTTEN.
Okay Karen
Better get out of shooting range you aren’t getting none of my spare change
@Viking 1982 ...Yes, I have assisted the homeless and the poor with food and shelter. How many have you assisted with food and shelter?
That cuz they choose to be homeless cuz these sec8 housing
Guessing you haven't been to any other countries....
if one has a job and still can't afford a house the system is broken. I see here a lot of people telling them to just leave to a cheaper state, but that doesn't fix the system, that would just spread the problem to a thinner layer, and most importantly, doesn't take into account the culture and family ties someone could have that in many ways are a lot stronger than economic ties to a place, wich in the case of the women interviewd was her job. If she just leaves she loses her job, how could her afford a cheapper rent in another state where she will be unemployed for "how long"?
Renan Teles No it doesn’t fix the problem. Because these people are still voting for the people that put the fucked up liberal policies in place to make it so damn expensive
@@bradrobb7582 lmao, still solely blaming liberals when it's both sides that are the problem.
@CZcams User
If theirs enough houses for every one, homelessness shouldn't exist, regardless if some works or not.
@CZcams User human rights, dude. if you contribute to society the least u should have is a place to live. its not a mansion, just a roof over your head at least.
@@memeroculero1643 stuff isn't free. If they need to move to a more affordable area then do so. Don't live in l.a. with no education. Its that simple, you won't make it. Same with any other high dollar area. Don't give bums free housing, puts a cieling on the value of a home in an area if half of them are free to bums. Most vacant houses are just waiting on an area resurgence, that will double or triple current values of empty homes. When I refer to bums, I mean people looking for free stuff. I was poor once. I didn't have a home for 2 years. Now I make what I didn't think was possible by just working in an area that has the demand.
Income based rent payments. Simple. The houses aren't getting any revenue sitting there. The State can at least get some revenue for them. Equal to maybe 1/3 of the income of the residents who took over.
They want it for free. Actually they want everything for free but they don't want to work.
I don't think it's fair to neighbors who have to pay significantly higher mortgages and rents because they can simply afford it.
THOMAZ TURBANDO PINTO At least one of the women interviewed explicitly stated she wanted to pay rent. But she can’t because it not affordable. Original comment is right, we need income-based rent. If it’s based on how much you make, the landlord gets more money than they would if they charged too much and didn’t have renters because of it.
According to Martha, shelter is a necessity and she has taken steps to make sure it comes free. Food and clothing is also considered a basic necessity so what’s next? Will they ask that a clothing shop to give up all their inventory and a supermarket not to charge anything? If she’s so self righteous, then allow some of these homeless ppl to stay at her place.
Pulling the Strings because mom can’t afford to house 3 people in a 1bed apartment. Why don’t you move to a cheaper state so that home values in your current one fall and they have access to housing? Same reason they won’t leave their state and current job for a slightly cheaper house that will not provide the same opportunities.

I find it extremely troubling how the people on America seem to be used to paying high costs for everything they see it as a burden everyone should endure and take pride in it. I think that's pathetic!
You should strive for everything to be affordable! If not then the essential things at the very least!
I felt this. So much of the political bs that goes on is "Pride" driven. The foundation should have an even playing field. If you work full time, and have a history of employment, you should have an opportunity to buy an affordable home.
Americans are a notoriously defeated people and when they are not they are insanely racist and loathe poor people(especially left leaning people). This sentiment is reflected in the leaders they choose. Americans hesitate to give other people any kind of assistance but are quick to cut and reduce assistance to others.

This is the home my co-worker grew up in. His mom was evicted after living there for over 30 yrs. She is in her 70's with disabilities. Shame on greedy caltrans buying it cheap and selling steep.

Lies. You have no idea who owned this house. Or who owns it now.
Either way it's none of your business. They are making legal money. Squatters are stealing.
Sydney Austin people aren’t asking to live for free they are asking for affordable rent, as stated the minimum wage in California isn’t even high enough to afford a two bedroom apartment.
Robert Kloth Stealing from whom? The houses have been empty for years as they are in an area slated for redevelopment which keeps being put back! Use the housing stock don’t leave it empty.
Keeping houses empty steals from the community. But nobody is going to change their minds on this issue or any other. Both sides 100% are wrong because both sides think they are 100% right. We would rather self destruct than be wrong.
The government doesn’t even begin to consider you unless you’re making 100 grand a year.
Greedy landlords. Outrageous rents. This is how a working mother becomes homeless. 1 person can hardly afford a one bedroom!
Thank you. You said what I was thinking.
It’s the landlords job to collect money. It’s their job to turn a profit on the estate they own. That’s not greed, that’s called capitalism.

It's always made me so sad to see homes sitting vacant and then going into ruin. I've said for the longest time something like this should happen.
Interesting. So if you have a vacant room in your house, can I go and live there rent free since I'm a struggling citizen? By the way, I have two kids and a dog with me that I can barely afford to take care of. Furthermore, let's use a little logic here. You're saying that a vacant home will go into ruin faster than a family living rent free in the home itself....? XD
The more stuff I watch on Vice about the US, the more I realize it's a 3rd world country in many, many aspects.
still better than other countries, you can be homeless here and make more money than working sometimes, in other countries you just die
America is an upper echelon
Third World country
More like a banana republic
Disparity between the rich

is the widest, in the world
Synecdoche in whar countries? 3rd world countries? The homeless don’t have ot good in america. It’s appaling to me as a european how many homeless people there is.
Even worse it's a 2nd world country, where a few people live in great security and wealth and the majority suffer

I am a low income disability almost 36 year old. I live in Colorado but I am from the Bay Area in California. I signed up for section 8 shortly after my doctor told me the news of permanently disabled when I woke up from emergency surgery. It’s run on a lottery system here, thankfully I won and got my section 8 about 6 months after signing up. Between my social security and disability I get less then $800 a month to live off of. Section 8 pays the majority of my rent I personally pay $300 to make up for the difference. Also sign up for food stamps I only get $15 a month for groceries but I can get a couple of meals out of it! I also have to go see my doctor every month which I have to pay for so that’s another $300 out of my pocket. The remaining $150 has to last me all month. After groceries and gas I try to make what little I have left last for as long as I can! Anyways just wanted to share some ideas with you that have saved me! I wish you good luck on all your future endeavors! Live long and Prosper 🖖
1.) Plan better at life
2.) Move somewhere cheaper
3.) Stop blaming others
*IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE!*
🤷♂️
😂In my whisper voice "its free real estate"
In Streetfighter announcer voice:
Perfect!
@Wouldn't You Like To Know, that's hardly the point, here. The point is that due to unbelievable real estate and governmental corruption in socialist ice-blue states like "New Yorkinberg" and "kalifornia", no one can AFFORD housing or lodging anymore, and as unimaginably high current rent rates are, don't even THINK about renting an apartment!!! Mortgage is ten times MORE expensive!!! There is NO way to get yourself off the streets in such ice-blue socialist states!!! Forget it, bud!!! In "kalifornia", if you don't already own a house, you'll never be able to AFFORD one!!! Shut up, go back to your tent, and go to sleep, PRETENDER!!!
Lol why NOT
Thats a hell of a way to get a free house im bout to start searchin 👁👁
Right behind you Jeff, LOL!!
I mean they eventually will get kicked out again tbh
Normally houses get sold to people in the know really cheap. Every single government program is corrupt. Do what you need to do to survive.
the crisis of homeless is that people have income, mostly work, but can't pay the rent... something is going wrong, right? don't make a joke out of that
@@ICantFindPeaceOfMind 25 years ago they started knocking down communitys one after the other. Forcing all the normal people out. Tjey replaced the homes, apartments with these giant never ended live work loft glass towers, which are foreign owned as investments, most are empty. They are so highly priced no one but super rich can afford and they prefer that. California is becoming one state with no kids, no old, no veterans, no artists. No students, no musician they been literally forced to move out of the state community by community. Its a diaster.
There is no reason there should be so many Homeless People when Houses are sitting all over empty. Good thing!
It's a mistake to call wrong "good".
There is no such thing as a free rent house lol. No matter how much you're in need. This isn't social activism. And plus it's an excuse to be a squatter jumping into empty homes.

Free housing i dont agree with
@@anthonyh2540 agreed.
Dear rich people of California: Where do you expect people who serve your coffee, care for your elderly, and serve your food will live? You don't want them to live on the streets, because that is inconvenient for you. So where do you expect them to go? Who will serve your coffee if they have to leave?
Unfortunately, I don't suspect too many rich folks will stumble upon your comment.
To answer your question though, they can hire live-in maids/butlers to serve coffee.
Don't expect it they vote for Biden and democrates!
The problem is not the rich people. When you get more money, you have to expand to meet supply and demand. The problem is the people who are FEEDING the rich. Stop giving them money and support small businesses.

@@anastyb Doubt it. The city prosecutor can claim trespassing, breaking and entering. They don't qualify for adverse possession until 5 years the least
I love the idea of allocating empty homes to homeless folk. Unfortunately some people make poor tenants. Homeless shelters are a hellhole partially because of the residents it caters to.
It's a good idea until all the houses are gutted for anything valuable and it costs 3x as much to fix it than it's worth. Theres a reason real estate investors stay away from those areas.
The problem is that this country does not care for the mentally I'll. They are the ones who typically cause problems in shelters because they don't have the skills to take care of themselves.

The upset neighbors are actually safer with a family being in the house, instead of it being vacant and them not knowing what’s going on in there. And they actually want to pay rent. Good for them, I hope everyone stays safe.

I live next to people who were squatting in a house. They leave trash everywhere, are negligent to their animals, and Are living in someone else’s home for free While everyone else in our neighborhood works to pay their bills, mortgage, rent. No one should have to be homeless you don’t just take someone else’s property.

I’m not saying that it ok to squat. I was just referring to this particular family’s that the story was on. Assuming that since they were all willing to show their face on camera, that they were all trying to pay their way, and be clean and respectful.

It's not the government's job to provide housing or any type of assistance. The issue stems from policies that are put in place by these overbearing government's that make it incredibly difficult and expensive to get any type of housing built. With an overwhelming demand and little to no supply the price inflates. Just look at new York and San Francisco.

Pursuit of happyness movie
@Sydney Austin I have had friends who act surprised when they find out they got some weekend fling pregnant. It's not like it's difficult to not make a baby. I was in a relationship for 10 years with no birth control before we had a kid (intentionally). Not one pregnancy scare in over a decade. And it wasn't difficult. I just cannot fathom what is going through a dudes mind when he is about to bust that leads them to just keep going at it. It has never been an issue, and the thought of getting some woman pregnant for fleeting pleasure is just mind numbingly stupid.
All that said, we cannot assume that people were always in the same place financially before and after having kids. Sometimes (usually) things don't go according to plan. Shit changes, often for the worst. I was in a really good financial position when we had our kid. Not so much anymore (still alright though). The current pandemic is creating exponential amounts of these families as we speak. Things rarely work according to plan, and that leaves some good people and their kids in unforseen places.
Sydney Austin there’s a growing number of mothers/wives that just up and leave tho.
Clean them up and let someone appreciate a home for a while.
Pay me
It's not right. They are teaching their kids no respect for the laws. This is what they do in Mexico forming in mobs..🤨
They should be obligated to pay something!
@Camaro 1968 true. But some our families. Clean people, some might even clean up and ward off others. I get the down side. I just hate to think of families just exposed or spreading while an empty place is just sitting. There are always two sides. 😷
She is just going to move in another drug dealing thug who will live off of her until she is pregnant and he gets arrested or murdered.
I agree why should homes stay empty when the homeless can live there God Bless them and the government should help them , they shouldn’t charge to much rent it should be affordable, as these houses where standing empty so it makes sense to get a small amount of rent than leave these properties empty for years. So help your people, this is a matter of life or death. Xxx
exactly, I don't understand why the government won't add these properties to it's low income housing program.
don't be a hater, we're in a global pandemic! Yeah, when this all settles, do something about it. NOT NOW. They NEED the shelter! It is only temporary! Neighbors, try and understand!

I’ve done too many cleanings of “settled” vacant homes. About of a dozen or so, only maybe 2-3 were actually livable again, before the gutting process and hazmat sprays.
Depends, if by squatters you just mean homeless drug addicts who've found a vacant dilapidated house for shelter I wouldn't really blame it on the squatters. Usually they're already in disrepair because they've been vacant for years with nobody looking after them. It's sad people go after the squatters looking for shelter rather than the banks and councils who own loads of empty property for no reason, when they could be doing good, but yeah blame the squatters

The power that people have when you get together as a community can overthrow the government .
The govt didn't raise rents though. The government didn't raise house prices. The govt doesn't help flippers with their houses.
They got a free house? Wtf 😂
Why doesn’t CalTrans sell these houses at a discount to non profit organizations that then rent the houses at an affordable rate, and over time transfer ownership. It’s frustrating for the people who work and buy homes to feel Thur neighbors are getting housing for free. This allows for both home ownership and financial solvency.
There is a reason the state don’t want people in them, if they’ve sat vacant for years then they will be in disrepair likely having molds and or fungus in the walls or pipes. The state becomes liable for injury or illness caused by the conditions of the buildings. However as long as they are not breaking into privately owned properties I’m not gonna complain
It’s funny how the governor of California is more concerned with making the state a “model” for renewables and environmental laws. But at the same time if people can’t pay the rent and the state isn’t willing to put rent caps. . . then it’s time to move out of the state, because if it really was a life or death situation you would do what is necessary to secure that life.
Wow I wish I didn’t have to pay for my house. Will be on the lookout for state owned houses to relocate to.
It sounds like you can actually afford your house. Maybe you missed that part of the video.
@Justin Trudeau it doesn't. Everyone should have the same rights. In my opinion, housing should be one of them.
I don't think that woman has the right to stay in that home. But I do think that every person has a right to a home, whether they can pay for it or not. In the end, it benefits and is cheaper for *everyone.*

There are 18.6 million vacant homes in the U.S. and 553,000 homeless people in the U.S. There would still be 18 million homes and no homeless people. Make that make sense.
Food for thought for anyone who simply says "move out of California" - The federal min wage hasn't increased since the 1990s. Do you know what has? Everything else. Housing, cost of goods, transportation, education etc. Stop acting like your state hasn't been affected. If you haven't felt the burden yet, believe us- you soon will. Get off that high horse and realize it's a universal threat to democracy and the middle class society.
Anyone who has searched honestly for the best job possible and can only negotiate a minimum wage needs to find ways to increase their value as a potential employee.
The middle class should stop complaining i was once upper middle class too. I pay plenty of taxes and i havent been absent all year.
I rather them be in homes then loitering on properties and trashing grocery stores all day. What the govt is doing is called price gouging if rent was lowered less people would be outside.
Rent was never this high in the 90s. 500-800 for a house that now costs up to 4,000 a month to rent. That's why there all vacant. Stop pretending like less homelessness is a bad thing its a good thing the economy would balance out and people could walk or ride there bike to work in peace. The crimimals would be the only ones left homeless. Easier to catch that way too because some shelters don't let trouble makers in either..
Believe me, my horse is extremely high, I live in Texas, we don't desotry out state with liberal practices. min wage is less then california. Liberal policies eneacted in california are a threat

Even with a 2 parent working household it would be almost impossible.*

They may just inherit them. Damn, I wish I would have done this instead of paying rent here.
Parents might be bums and just dont want to work

They will get raided and displaced , cops do it to the homeless all the time they aren't an exception
I’m 20 years old male and have been struggling to find somewhere for 2 years, I work full time and plan on going to school after the lockdown, rooms rent for $800-1200, studio apartments want $1200-1500 with no kitchen and first and last months rent with a deposit and a 600+ credit score, cheap rooms are only rented to females either by a female only house or a creepy landlord, the rent is out of control yet many apartments sit vacant many houses sit empty for decades, investors come and buy out all the properties and raise the rents
Prayers out to everyone in need rn luv 🙏🏼
If I owned property I wouldn't mind as long as they kept the place clean and in the same condition as when they decided to use it for cover.
i wouldn't either but a lot of people really don't care about something if something isn't theirs. Not to mention that a big percentage of homeless people are mentally ill and may do something harmful to the property or themselves while in it. Do you wanna risk thousands of dollars worth of damage just to do someone a favor? It is not as simple as people or companies are being mean to homeless people.
you live in lala land. those homes will be trashed and drug use and crime will go up. evicting them will be next to impossible due to squatters rights. Have you been living under a rock????
Your living in a dream world. Come back to reality.
This is why you don't own property, you'd pay their bills at your own expense then?
@@Amazin11000 this property is probably going to be torn down anyway I say screw the road they are trying to build and help out some good people.
this country should regulate rent, to an affordable amount
You know i have worked my butt off to buy my house. 70 hours a week. And she's living for free? Yeah should not be allowed.
usual illegal immigrants thinking “hey let’s have 15 kids, then move to America & expect all the tax paying citizens pay for my living, food, & all my utilities & when they won’t pay? I’ll just break into a home that a tax paying citizen who saved up their life savings would have moved in to!
