You seem to know a lot about them, what are their names? Are they squatting in the room with you right now?

Shadija Romero has been making the news recently turning a 30-day or less Airbnb rental into a 9-month drag out fight, but she's a probably only made the news because she's mentally not all there. Most squatters aren't delusional enough to try to defend themselves publicly or lie about things to the press.

When I look up squatters most of the info seems to pop up around DC and Maryland so if I wonder if it's a particular issue around there.
