To your initial point -- for almost all of human history, land belonged to the person who could control it. Squatters' rights were the only rights. If you find unused land and you can hold it, it's yours.Nope. For most of human history if you found a ransom person in your home, you were on your own. Squatter's rights have been around for about 150 years--most of U.S. legal history and they are recognized in all 50 states. The liberal ones and conservative ones.
"Long and tenuous evictions." Also nope. The old law in Florida allows most of them to be done in a month or two. There is a specific statute already "advancing" such cases ahead of other cases on the Court's docket."
So you position is that this is necessary because this is how things have been for 10,000 years is wrong. The issue of squatters removal being long and tenuous is not the case in Florida.
How can we debate who is brainwashed and who is pursuing an idiotic policy when you simply make your position up?
I am not defending anyone. Squatters should be quickly removed from places they are not legally residing in. My point remains it is interesting to me that with fraudsters, murderers, pedophiles etc. out there, your Complaint is that we need to put resources to getting squatters out more quickly when Florida already has a policy of extremely fast unlawful detainer actions.
