You Will Not Believe Why This Deep Blue County Is Evicting Condo Residents

This is a truly Bizarro World story out of deep blue Prince George’s County, Md.

Back in December, some 100 families living in the Marylander Condominiums complex were told they would have to leave their homes because the building was deemed “unfit for human habitation.”

Last week, a Maryland judge signed a final eviction notice, which could leave many of these families homeless.

Why?

Turns out that the complex has been besieged for years by a nearby homeless encampment that is “a haven for gangs, drugs, and prostitutes” and has “vaporized property values and caused millions in damage, scaring away the banks needed to finance repair,” the Washington Free Beacon reports.

But, instead of dealing with the vagrants, the county told residents to “have compassion” for them, while city officials insist that they won’t “criminalize the unhoused.”

Then, after some of these “unhoused” wrecked the building’s boiler and cut off the heat supply this winter, the county decided to evict … the residents.

Who would do such a thing? Well, would it surprise you that everyone on the Prince George’s County Council is a Democrat, and the county voted 86% for Kamala Harris in 2024?

This is the kind of warmth-of-collectivism style of government Democrats provide – wherever and whenever they control the levers of power.
