Video Segment On This Growing (And By The Way Illegal) Trend
An NBC affiliate out of Chattanooga sent a crew to Miami to find out more about the trend of homeless people moving into foreclosed homes. Can you imagine how they drew straws in the Newsplex for that plum assignment? "OK, I need someone to go down to Miami and interview homeless people who are living in foreclosures? Now they might be armed and dangerous, because they're living in these homes illegally, so you'll have to take extra precautions. Anyone? Anyone?" Mary, the homeless woman interviewed justifies, her law-breaking this way, "I had to squat, because I felt like no one gave a squat." HAHAHA...Get it...she decided to "squat" because...never mind, it's too complex a play on words. Actually, Squatter Mary's tagline is more succinct than the real alternative, "I decided to squat, because South Florida is filled with abandoned homes the banks can't get off their books because the credit squeeze is keeping anyone with less than an 800 FICO score from getting a mortgage while local officials are already on the record saying "There are no actions on the city's part to stop this," so I just moved on in."
