NBC News’ Gadi Schwartz reports on how one group of activists took drastic measures to start moving people into publicly owned homes that once just sat empty.

She got two years in a house for free and she's still complaining. Spoiled.
You are a squatter and should be arrested for trespassing.
Homeless Industrial Complex
Lots of people in the comments demonizing people for being poor. Reagan did a good job indoctrinating you to serve the oligarchs.
What's going in the world where there's no law and order. It's outrages . People like her are BREAKING AND ENTERING and it's tolerated by the community and the law.
Still can't believe that a country so advance and always on top of everything in the world– has poverty issues within their society….
What other point. This woman isn't living in an apartment. They let her live in a house. How many people can afford to rent a house in one of the most expensive cities in the country? Los angeles, new york, austin, Nashville.. this is ludacris. And I noticed some big heavy accents there which means that these people are not from the United States originally. Yet they think it's okay to come to the United States and demand a free place to live?!?!?
Live somewhere affordable & don't have kids you can't afford. This is a problem they created and have the solution to, no need to leach off other's hard work.
Think her kids will repeat the cycle of ignorance because of their mother's obtuse nature? 🤔
Tim Dylan already gave America a solution homelessness. Sitting in the middle just doesn't work anymore government's either got to help them or ya know what
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.
Charlotte, NC listen
Wait what???
LA county waste soooo much money.
Been there two years and you ain't save any money???
Children are the future of America xvxvii
I hope the find a solution
Hope

Love this
Look at Section 8 and what those people did with those houses.
Dang two years rent free, i could have saved alot of money. How do i break in?
Then make them get jobs
just take whatever house they pick and claim housing is a human right? ever heard of working and paying rent with your salary?
Housing is a human right is one of the most deluded thing to say whatever reason youre in, except mental problems.
Lived rent free for 2 years and still WONT pay rent—
Empty homes outnumber homeless in USA.
I was too afraid to become homeless on the streets with my kids. No way. I worked so long so hard that have been permanently disabled in five months. They looked at my health and said wow no just try to live & finish raising your kids. When the generations before me started selling ten thou. homes for three hundred and fifty thousnd, then passed laws sneaky they were that says property always goes up in value. We lost. The latch key kids lost, never to own homes to raise their kids in a family home for years. Then the step dads to pay rent and not need a bedroom so keeps rents down and kids have space. I the mother just don't have any space. So I worked nights to be there to go to school, pack lunches, drive them then to bed. But if someone got sick I was home with them, not them alone. Nope I always found sneaky ways back, always had a roof water utilities, TV, clothes. I had and bought nothing but clothes for work. I was a night nurse. I can't play CA's ways of some screwed us and sued so we are going to pay back those that did. But no couldn't find out so they just screwed all of us. Those who screwed them and those of us who didn't . Why I'm devoted and serving God to go to the subtle world, no more reincarnation for me on earth, please God. I don't like this planet as long as you have the predators here. No thanks. I'll learn by video if need be. Thank you Lord Jesus for choosing me
God Help Them🙏
