A rock and the right to face my accuser.

I've been talking myself off a ledge often lately. A proverbial ledge not a literal one don't worry this is not about self-harm. I keep telling myself throwing a rock through the window of a mansion that's been completely abandoned for five years since it was sold will not achieve anything. I keep telling myself that some lawyer representing a numbered company that owns the home might actually come after me for property damage. I keep telling myself there is nothing I can do to stop the neglect. I keep talking myself off the ledge and I keep succeeding.

I think a lot of us are feeling the same way. I personally feel a sense of building rage everywhere I go in the lower mainland. Monstrous hotels disguised as “single family homes” gobbling up our remaining farmland, beautiful old homes left to rot while we have a housing crisis, families forced to live in crowded rabbit warrens so that rich foreign criminals can launder their drug money in our real estate market. It’s disgusting. I’m wondering why more squatters haven’t taken up residence in some of those abandoned homes rather than sleeping in the street.

Should we start crowdfunding their legal fees now? I bet there's enough pissed off people in this city to get this person a better lawyer than even the money laundering fentanyl pushers could afford. Oh and to answer the above comment we don't have squatter's rights here.
