OAKLAND — One of the homeless mothers who has been living in a vacant West Oakland house since Nov. 18 scoffed Saturday night at an offer by the house’s owner to pay to move them out and shelter them for the next two months, calling the offer “an insult.”
Earlier Saturday, the property owner planning to have two homeless mothers evicted next week from a West Oakland home offered on Saturday to pay to shelter them for the next two months. Real estate investment firm Wedgewood Properties is offering to foot the bill for their move and to pay a

In California, evictions can take years and wise property owners are advised to shorten the process through various schemes designed to "buy out" those they wish to vacate the property. California is a "wondrous" place, best described as "La.La Land" and other far less flattering names.

I can’t think of anything more insulting than illegally occupying someone else’s property and them deeming it ‘insulting’ when they basically offer you money to vacate their property. Insulting to the home owner, the rule of law and the community. Zero sympathy for these ignorant entitled parasites. Put them on the curb.

I will always remember the scene in Dr. Zhivago when Tanya’s father comes back to his home and finds it full of comrades/squatters. He no longer has personal property. No matter how badly the peasants were treated under the Czars and aristocracy, it was still a chilling scene.

The people who made this mess didn't sneak into the state capitol in the dark, they were elected. Residents of the state keep voting for democrats. What in the hell do they expect?

In California, once a person has occupied a dwelling for 30 days or more, there is no way to force them to leave except through a formal eviction process. If the occupier was not trespassing in the first place or if they were paying their rent on time, there would be no way to get them to leave.

This is the typical demonrat mentality in a demonrat run state: I want it so I'll take it and there's nothing you can do about it.

Actually, I'm glad this tactic didn't occur to the Obamas with the White House.

Everybody has "rights" except the working people picking up the tab. The article doesn't say, but I am wondering if they have electric and water. In this state FDC would have made the owner turn them on. You don't have to stay 30 days here. Move in with clothes and they can't toss you out.

#8, that's not true. It goes through formal eviction. The evicted has 3 days to respond and so forth. The whole process normally takes a month and a half and the people are gone. The only way you cannot get rid of a tenant right away is if the landlord has no legal right or standing to evict the tenant and if the landlord tries doing an illegal eviction. That could end up costing the landlord more for trying to circumvent the law.
Anyway, it sounds like this woman is a squatter. She needs to go. She thinks she should be given a free ride forever....evict her a d if she doesn't leave within the prescribed period set by the judge, have the Sheriffs lock her out.

If I was in a similar situation, I'd tear down my own house, rather than let the squatters and politicians steal my property.

The guy in the video is a weak coward who "respects the women who occupy the home" Respect? Are you serious? He respects people who break the laws and do not care about who owns the home? How can anybody respect that? The owners are so damned scared to show outrage for what it rightfully theirs.

They are refusing to leave. And so far the owners cannot get them ousted.
