Red state governor signs bill cracking down on squatters: 'Best dwelling' for them 'is a jail cell'
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill into law on Monday that strengthens the rights of homeowners against squatters who illegally occupy their property.
Just 9 days ago you posted about how corporations are creating a housing crisis and now you're posting about how people affected by the housing crisis should be sent to jail. I don't understand your stance.
I am not the author of the articles. I hope that clears up the confusion
You're trying to paint a narrative with the articles you post.

SFH are homes for people to live in, raise their families, etc. They are not investments. The large majority of homes should be priced where the average person can buy one.
So I'm still confused. From this comment I'd assume you'd be against people being sent to jail for living in a home they are raising their family in because someone else wants to use it as an investment.
Imagine if instead of spending a fortune incarcerating people we use it to make it so people didn't have to resort to this kind of desperation.
I'm sure that we can arrest our way out of homelessness though! We just haven't tried hard enough.

@LookBehindYouNowAndThen @wintermute_oregon Homelessness is a complex issue caused by economic issues, broken homes, drug use, etc.
Simplistic solutions probably won't be able to resolve a problem with complex.
They should hitch hike to NH... You can gain ownership of an abode from squatting.
But New Hampshire is full of damn yankees!
