"Squatting is not primarily a housing policy problem; it is a property-rights enforcement problem," John Gibbs, Director of the Institute for Economic Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital. "The core failure is that lawful owners often face greater burdens recovering their property than unauthorized occupants face taking possession of it. The solution is restoring the presumption that ownership matters. Expedited removal procedures, stronger anti-fraud penalties, faster courts, and clearer authority for law enforcement could significantly reduce squatting while preserving protections for legitimate tenants."
