Totally random and off topic, but that dude looks like ~~a yoked up version of~~ Josh Strife Hayes.

Update: Apparently its been a while since I've watched Josh, he may actually be more yoked up than this dude.

Hayes has yoked up so much by seemingly working a fitness routine into his regular gaming habit that apparently a lot of people think he's on steroids???

Who the hell passed a law allowing squatters to be able to take away the title after 5 years,that's freaking nuts. Can literally just steal property.

they sorta strongarmed a similar incident in oakland, a family from missipi/or missouri plus a group of other 5 families were living in a house the govt, and public supported the takeover it. the house was sitting empty because of a corporate landlord, hoping the empty house would raise in value over time, which is a problem all over the us. and the corporate landlord sold the house to the families, through a "organization". they had hordes of other houses sitting empty all over the place.

Yeah, in Arizona it's 2. Much better.

(If an owner is so disconnected from their property that they don't notice someone living there that they didn't allow, have they really lost anything?)

Scratched landlord 🤣

I've read about this guy before. He's got an amusing variety of methods. Squatters ruin homes, sometimes destroying them entirely. House across the street from me burned this morning because of squatters who kept breaking in. Someone would have saved the house eventually, now it'll be a parking lot. Who is helped by that?
