#tenantprotectionlaws Greetings Everyone!
We have made it again to Saturday morning. I caught an obscure story from DeKalb County, Georgia that caught my attention:
Army officer says squatter moved into her DeKalb home while she was on duty, now she can’t evict him
For those of you curious, here is the link:

I spent many years of my life as a tenant. I never was actually evicted. But a part of my life was spent as being classified as homeless. I understand what it is like to be a tenant.
Countries all over the world have enacted strong laws to protect the rights of renters. In Elena's home country of Argentina, it can take two years to complete an eviction. The same can be true in Brasil. Here in San Mateo County, it theoretically takes two months to evict someone. In actuality, it can take many months. The tenant gets a financial settlement in most cases. Next door in San Francisco County, I have heard of owners paying tenants financial settlements in the range of $40,000 US to leave their property.
All this compassion adds to the homeless problem. Many property owners are wary of renting to anyone because of the awful cost of removing a tenant when things go wrong.
Elena and I have a spare bedroom. It was the home to Anna and Luah when they lived here in the US. Thanks to former Congresswoman Jackie Speier, I became aware of several students at San Francisco State University who were living in their cars. They could not afford to rent student housing or pay $1,000 US per month to rent a room. I developed an idea for a scholarship where we would offer a free room to a deserving homeless student. One of our readers, Dan Miller, helped us to structure the gift in a way that would conform to IRS regulations. A real estate lawyer killed the deal. If we got a student who did not want to leave, we would face a legal bill of more than $10,000 US.

Tell someone close to you that you love them.

Deputizing deadbeats and criminals to do their worst on the productive population: it's the KommieKunt way and it is on purpose. You don't terrorize and demoralize a population by punishing the guilty. You let the guilty prey on the innocent and reward the guilty and punish the innocent.

It's the Satanic inversion of traditional justice.

By design everything Liberals, Democrats, Socialists and Communist do is make things worse.

They hold out one hand with a flower while holding a battle axe behind their back.

Knowing is half the battle Jack, seems you're coming around.

If that army officer wasn't a "she" I bet the eviction would be swift and final. Link this to the "woke military" thread.
