Chapter 506: Supporting squatters
The Eagle Nation's opposition to long-term rental housing is so loud that even puppet Prime Minister Gordon Brown has found it difficult.
The reason is that a large part of Eagle Country's economy relies on the business of international students.
Simply put, education income accounts for a large part of Eagle Country’s income.
In big cities such as London, Birmingham, and Liverpool, a large part of the renters are international students from various countries.
Not only is the tuition fee second only to the beautiful country, rent is also an important source of income for many locals.
And these landlords have become accustomed to the days of collecting rent, especially in places like London where land is at a premium. They are too lazy to take risks and are very satisfied with their current life of collecting rent.
Some rich people also refuse to rent long-term houses. Most of the time, their houses are used as temporary residences for themselves to live in, rather than rented out. They also resist the long-term rental policy, because this will cause a large number of middle-class people to earn more than they can. money arrived.
That's okay, so they are the strongest opponents.
Now you tell them to live for free and use the deposit to invest. As the old overlords of Dongbuluo, they can smell the conspiracy.
When Gordon Brown complained to Wang Zhixin about how stubborn these old antiques were, Wang Zhixin had no good idea and reported the progress to Wang Lei in South Korea.
"So, the rich people in this beautiful country don't support the long-term rental policy?"
"Yes, Okuanhaina also encountered great resistance, and the bill was not passed immediately."
Wang Lei touched his chin and suddenly had an idea:
"Zhixin, have you ever heard of the Digger sect that became popular in Eagle Country last century?"
Wang Zhixin had drank a lot of foreign ink, so he had naturally heard of the Diggers.
The Diggers are also known as the true Egalitarians.
After the civil war in Eagle, many people lost their houses and land and were displaced. In order to prevent themselves from starving to death, they advocated that poor people should receive land and that land should be returned to the poor.
After World War I and World War II, a large number of soldiers retired, and they found that "the homeland that welcomes heroes in triumph" only remained in the government's propaganda.
Homeless veteran families are living in empty hotels, other people’s second homes, and even abandoned military barracks.
In just a few months, 45000 people squatted in 1000 locations.
The local officials wanted to take care of it, but these were retired soldiers. When they gathered together, they were a terrifying force, and they could only ignore them.
In the following decades, hippies, anarchist punks, and activists appeared one after another, and they were all important participants in squatting.
Then Eagle Country officials continued to accept refugees from various countries, resulting in approximately 40 people in Eagle Country becoming homeless.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhixin gradually caught up with his uncle's thinking rhythm. His eyes lit up and he said:
"Uncle, do you want squatters to occupy the vacant houses of rich people?"
"Yes, wouldn't they rather keep it empty than rent it out for a long time? Let's help them and help them make a choice."
Gordon Brown, who is familiar with the laws of Eagle Country, immediately said with praise:
"This is such a wonderful idea!"
Because according to Eagle Country law, squatting is trespassing (taking property or land that another person owns or has a right to occupy without their permission), which is a non-criminal offense and a civil matter.
Therefore, most squats are illegal, but not illegal.
As a loyal servant of the Wang family, he immediately had a plan.
"Mr. Wang, I hope you can fund the squatters' association, hire professional legal advisors, compile a manual for squatters, and guide homeless people on how to squat correctly!"
I have to say, Gordon Brown is a complete bastard.
If the homeless know which loopholes can be exploited to avoid lawsuits or win civil lawsuits, it will definitely deal a terrible blow to the rich.
In the past, they could resort to lawsuits to protect their property. Now squatters have legal guidance, and the consequences...
"That's it, at this critical moment, you have to stand up and speak out for these poor homeless people."
Soon, the Squatters Advisory Service, which received legal aid, published a "Squatters' Guidebook" and gave it away to homeless people for free.
In just half a month, 10 copies of this manual were published.
This book has become a treasure for some homeless people. They occupy the mansion worth 1.2 million U.S. dollars of a wealthy Utah man, party there, and do everything they want to do under the premise of legality.
Those who violate the manual will be expelled by them. It can be said that they have exercised extreme restraint in order to occupy this place.
When Mr. You found out about this, he almost went crazy. After he called the police, he was actually taught a lesson by the homeless man.
"This is a civil matter. You have no right to deport us. If you insist on taking us away, it will be violent law enforcement!"
The rich man could only file a lawsuit with the court, but was told that he needed to queue up because they had recently accepted nearly a thousand related cases.
