Somewhat related: in New Hampshire your rural property taxes go up if you post no trespassing/hunting signs. And if these signs are not posted, others have the right to roam over your land and hunt. I love the concept which I here fly recognizes the social value of land but preserves the right of landowners to pay for exclusivity.
- mulmen 3y agoAre there protections to prevent squatting? I admit that this is intriguing, I'm just curious what the rules are. It seems easy to exploit so I assume someone already has.
- banannaise 3y agoIf someone is spending extended time on land that is otherwise completely unused... I fail to see the problem. In this way, "squatting" is like "jaywalking" -- a perfectly normal thing that we invented a crime for (typically on behalf of wealthier people against poorer ones). You can, of course, ask someone to leave your land if you need to use it. There's a reason that adverse possession takes years to decades.
- mulmen 3y agoCome take a look at the greenbelts in Seattle for an idea of how bad it can be. Trash, human waste, clear cutting, erosion, fire, etc.
- voisin 3y agoI believe it is for movement over land (roaming/hunting), not unrestricted access to set up shop and squat, leave a mess, etc. in that instance I assume the usual legal resolutions apply.
