Your thoughts?

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law Wednesday the "Property Rights" bill, which aims to help homeowners remove squatters more quickly.

Standing in front of a lectern that read "Ending the Squatters Scam," DeSantis said this is the first bill of its kind in the U.S.

"We want the law to have the thumb on the scale in favor of law abiding property owners, and that's what you're going to see here with this piece of legislation," he said.

Squatting cases have made national headlines recently, after one Los Angeles home became a party hub and other squatters were accused of murder in New York City.

This is good! No one should be able to take over someone's property that they had worked hard for.
