Very similar to the situation in "The Garden" http://www.thegardenmovie.com http://www.thegardenmovie.com
Basically, a property owner in South LA lets people grow gardens on his otherwise unused property. After a while the owner decides to do something else with the property. The gardeners react by trying to get city to exercise eminent domain on the land. The owner ends up kicking everyone out of the gardens and bulldozing everything.
Letting people use your property gives them the idea that they own it. With the graffiti buildings, they apparently do.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Letting people use your property gives them the idea that they own it. The idea may not be without legal support, see, generally, the legal concepts of implied easements, prescriptive easements, and adverse possession.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoYet more reasons to never, ever let people use your property for anything but explicitly temporary purposes?
- dragonwriter 9y agoI would say, not to let people use your property for aextended period in a way you are uncomfortable with becoming an entitlement, except with an explicit and explicitly revocable grant of permission delineating what is allowed.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoLike, a normal lease agreement.
