    What’s even more entitled is you thinking you have a right to shelter you don’t even use when hundreds of thousands nation-wide cannot afford shelter due to people like you hoovering up unused homes.

    You know what your attitude is called? Parasitical and greedy.

      Do you extend this sentiment to vehicles too? If I drive to work and park my car there, is it morally correct for someone to come steal it because they want to drive somewhere or sleep in it but don’t have a car? After all, it’s just sitting there unused, so I must be some entitled asshole for expecting it to be there when I’m ready to head home, right?

      I also find it funny you chose the words parasitical and greedy when these squatters are quite literally feeding off the homeowners and selfishly taking something that doesn’t belong to them. Your argument is not too different from a CEO who wants to cut worker pay and give himself a bigger bonus with the money.

      In my example what I was talking about was, while I was away I rented a placed for temporary lodging.

      And that is vacuuming up lodging?

      I still say you are entitled.

      But moving on. Have a good day
