Remember the good old days when the junkies broke in, clipped your TV, and pawned it for a fix? Well thanks to a $240,000 NYC Council grant they're upping their game.
It's breaking and entering for dummies.
Picture the Homeless, a Bronx nonprofit that has received at least $240,000 in taxpayer money in the last five years, is giving a crash course on squatting — and city-owned buildings are a prime target.
Two weeks ago, board member Andres Perez held a teach-in on how to wrest "control" of vacant apartments. He called it "homesteading."
"The best time to enter a building is in the late hours," he advised a group of about 20, who gathered in front of the half-empty East New York housing complex Arlington Village.
"You make sure you have your proper tools. You remove the chains and padlock, and then you go in."
He then led them through the next steps — including filling out a change-of-address form at the post office and setting up utilities. After that, "nine out of 10 times the courts will allow you to be able to have control of the property," he said.
Who needs real estate agents or security deposits? Just steal an entire apartment!
I don't know what amazes me more. That a taxpayer-funded group is openly advocating theft, or that "nine out of 10 times the courts will allow you to be able to have control of the property."
Where did these judges get their law degrees? You break in. You fraudulently assert "ownership." And "nine times out of 10" a judge will say "well done, stay as long as you'd like?"
Does the concept of private property mean anything anymore?
