I guess I'm the odd one out here, but squatter stories infuriate me. Signing a contract and then intentionally violating it is super unethical. The renting/income/ownership problem needs to be solved in other ways than letting people steal the property they're living in. Letting people stay in properties without paying significantly increases landlord risk and causes shittier contracts and higher prices.

Also, if someone jas an eviction on their record, getting another rental is way harder. It's good to discourage it so people don't end up trapped unable to get another rental when they're back on their feet.

People lose money on investments all the time. Why should rental properties used as investments be any different?

My answer is no. Tough shit, people lose money on investments all the time.

Meanwhile, Cartman's classmate and frequent nemesis Kyle Broflovski, who did not read the Terms and Conditions when agreeing to download the latest iTunes update, is pursued by shadowy agents from Apple Inc., who wish to perform several intrusive acts upon him, informing him that he agreed to them when he downloaded the update. Kyle attempts to flee the men and is incredulous when his friends tell him they all read the entire Terms and Conditions when they downloaded the latest update. Kyle seeks refuge at his father Gerald's law office. Still, the Apple agents taser Gerald, kidnap Kyle, and throw him in a cage with a Japanese man named Junichi Takiyama and a young woman who also failed to read the fine print of their purchased updates.

"Lemmy progressive": I refuse to help fight this party's outrageous attack on the poor.

ITT: people who don't know what appeal means. The article gives an example at the end as to why this is a bad idea, but it doesn't affect the actual eviction process.
