[quote=spdrun]Problem is that CA has chosen to accommodate overleveraged bum-losers and do everything to keep them in “their” homes. In a just world, they would be in the foreclosure process as we speak.[/quote]
spdrun, don’t blame this “squatting into oblivion” phenomenon on “CA.”
This is largely due to the fault of “lender malaise.” And where ARE these lenders? MUCH more often than not, they are located out of state.
If you were successfully able to poll residents of FL, AZ and NV, for example, who managed to “squat” more than 24 months before being foreclosed upon, I think you might be shocked :=0
And the situtation has been infinitely worse in your neck of the woods where foreclosure requires a court order.
For a defaulted property owner/occupier residing in NY, they have been living a “squatter’s dream” in recent years.
