[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think this is a larger shift in society where criminals have more rights than victims and the penalties for crime are lowered.[/b] I understand wanting to keep people out of jail, but a lot of these crimes (like squatting and shoplifting) are gateway crimes. Instead of sending squatters to jail, why can’t they just be removed instantly? Homeowners are unable to get back into their homes, have to pay for water/electricity that someone else is using and can’t even rekey the doors. [/quote]

Not really. Searching for "removing squatters" on Youtube - tons of videos from the past 10 years: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=removing+squatters&sp=CAM%253D

It's hitting a fever pitch right now because housing prices are out of control at the current interest rate. Housing is the primary contributor to keeping inflation above 3% overall: https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2024/consumer-prices-up-3-2-percent-from-february-2023-to-february-2024.htm[/quote]
