YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR: LIE DOWN WITH DOGS, GET UP WITH RABIES
A sane community would use fire, guns, and backhoes in the forest to eradicate this level of parasitism. Portland will have to have its brain tumor cut out first.
I am dealing with squatters, fortunately without a home on the property, in WA state. They must be served three times, then there is an unlawful detainer form that has to be served. All the documents tell the “unnamed people” to contact their landlord. I have no idea who they are and they are not my tennants. And there was a fire that burned several RVs so we now get to check for asbestos.
Whatever you do, DO NOT DEAL WITH PDX RENOVATIONS!! I’ll leave it at that.

If, upon returning to my property, I observe people occupying it, they will be gone in a matter of minutes of my arrival. How could it be any other way? This stuff is sort of self explanatory.

Drop a pissed off pitbull in there.
“Hey, ain’t MY dog!”
JackAugust 1, 2022, 3:07 PM
Lock the doors and burn the thing down with the fuckers inside.
Lance de BoyleAugust 1, 2022, 3:37 PM
Yeah, but then you’d kill all the cockroaches, too.
How fair is that?
HylandAugust 1, 2022, 5:55 PM
Thanks, Lance. First time I laughed today. What a world.

Like I told my kids who, when growing up, would tell me such-and-such was not fair….”there is no such thing as fair”.
But if you insist, to answer your question I’d say that it’s about as ‘fair’ as what the squatters are doing to the home owner. One could march in with shotguns and dogs and run the squatters out but then all manner of problems ensure. In the first place, the law protects them and the owner could have his pants sued off or go to jail for threatening the squatters. Secondly, if they did exercise their right to leave, who is going to pickup the garbage and clean up the other godless messes they made to the home and who can say that they won’t return?
Nah, you have to utilize measures that will work and if it’s done correctly, the home owner’s insurance will cover the loss.
I was just posting about squatters elsewhere. I noted that a guy my son was talking to, told him that here in Fairbanks, Alaska he found out that when he called the police about bums on his property he was told by them if a bum, a squatter, (Or as is now almost mandatory to refer to them using the newspeak term, homeless, as I’m quite sure the officers did.) , sets up a tent on one’s property and has a campfire one must give the bum a ten day eviction notice, just running them off is forbidden. As I said, I heard about it third hand but that’s apparently how the cops explained things to the property owner.
The NEW buzz word is “ Urban Camper”. I come home and a “Urban Campers” present, I won’t be calling the cops.

I had someone offer to go and use bear spray on my squatters. The problem is that the law would come after me. They always go after the folks with assets and ignore those without.

A friend who had 4-month non-paying tenants (effectively squatters with better manners) gave a tough local who owned an axe and a doberman, some cash. Lousy tenants, and the front door of the house, were both gone the following day.
“Sir, did you have anything to do with this?”
“Officer, I have no idea what happened here; Where are my tenants?!”

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
