I’m close to Valencia and we’ve had no electricity for about an hour.

I have family who let out property in Spain.
They, along with other people in a similar position to them, have all suddenly become experts in smart home tech.
They have video doorbells, motion sensors, door sensors, etc. All so that they can be alerted to any activity immediately, allowing them to act within the exceptionally short eviction window.
The reality on the ground is that these ridiculous policies are widely exploited.
I couldn't agree more. My parents have an "okupa" and they can't even go talk to her or she can sue them. They also have to pay for her electricity or water, otherwise, she has the right to sue them for "endangerment".
And she wasn't even a tenant. She has been there for 4 months now, and the judicial system simply works against home owners, it's crazy!

Beautiful typeface.
A leaderboard would make it more addictive.
