How are they a threat to society?

The threat to society is the scummy speculator hotel owners^W^W "landlords" who have units sitting empty and unattended for months (or years in the case of many places around here) in an attempt to drive up or sustain artificially high rent...

i thought you would offer a different take on these things. not answer with a question.

> We started getting reports from neighbors or the on-site management that are our guests are dealing drugs out of our units.

> Our lockboxes were getting broken into, keys taken and people have been living there for several days and in some cases weeks

> they would start packing up their car with our appliances

in civilised societies these kinds of actions would be considered extremely damaging to the fibre of the neighbourhood. people would complain to their elected official if the police refused to intervene. and if the elected official refused to act then he would be recalled.

Sorry, what makes them scummy? Because they want random squatters who are stealing stuff and not paying, while dealing drugs to not be in their accommodations that they created?

This kind of comment is exactly why “we can’t have nice things” when low-life’s are always defended, while those of us who actually meaningfully contribute to society are burdened to pick up the pieces and put up with illegal behavior.
