“Welcome to California,” says angry neighbor. “Thanks Liberals.”
Basketball star LeBron James and his wealthy neighbors are reportedly “concerned” over a group of squatters that have taken over a vacant Beverly Hills mansion nearby.
A $4.5 million estate at Beverly Grove, California, has been turned into an illegitimate business, hosting parties and charging large entry fees to attendants, Los Angeles Magazine reported.
Listing agent John Woodward IV said the operation is run by “a very sophisticated criminal ring of squatters” who he claimed are raking in upwards of $30,000 a month with their fees.

The mansion had been seized by a criminal court when the previous tenet fled after hiring a hitman to kill his wife.
“Taxpayers are paying the utilities to keep the lights on and the pool running. Neighbors are beyond pissed,” Woodward lamented.
“These squatters have been here since October, charging rents for rooms and throwing massive parties all night long,” he continued. “I just want to get this house sold to satisfy the court.”
The squatting operation eventually caught the attention of James, who is building a multi-million dollar estate in Beverly Grove Place, and his neighbors, some of whom are celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
From the Western Journal:
Concern and frustration over the illegal occupancy of the Beverly Grove home aren’t exclusive to just Woodward — neighbors are also furious.
A group chat for many residents on the street has been overrun with anger over the ongoing situation, as Curbed reported.
“Cut off their water,” one person suggested.
The group became particularly infuriated when Gascón’s office said that the “squatters have rights.”
“Welcome to California,” a peeved person shared. “Thanks Liberals.”
A neighbor contacted the house manager for Lebron James, who stated that the sports star was very concerned about the situation.
When the neighbors of the illegally occupied residence pleaded with District Attorney George Gascón’s office to shut off the utilities, they were told “squatters have rights.”
“The Beverly Crest home is placed under the control of a court appointed receiver who maintains and preserves the property. The property is subject to a seizure order filed by the LADA Office to obtain the property as to provide restitution to the victims,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “LADA has no authority over the home until the court grants LADA the right to dispose of the property for restitution.”
James and his wealthy liberal neighbors don’t have a leg to stand on given their left-leaning sensibilities — these are the radical policies they voted for.
As we reported, a squatting epidemic has emerged in the wake of 10 million unvetted illegal aliens flooding into the U.S. since Joe Biden took office.
A Venezuelan illegal alien recently called for his half a million followers on TikTok to exploit Democrat squatting loopholes to invade uninhabited homes — his TikTok account has since been suspended after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy confronted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about his insane remarks.
