    He’s 95… Let him live out his final years there… At the very lease let him have first dib on a lease… I’m sure a gofundme would cover the bill.

    A veteran, and an artist. Oh, and 94! Those are "artist shacks!" Leave that man alone!!!

      It reminds me of a situation from the opposite coast about 6 years ago, when an order of very elderly Nuns had a property that was bequeathed to them, and that they figured they'd live the rest of their lives in, sold out from under them by the catholic ✌church✌/vatican to Katy Perry. Some outspoken feminist she turned out to be, teaming up with a literal patriarchy to screw over elderly women. I remember one of the Nuns even dropped dead in court, when they were trying to fight the process

    USA - ruthless gentrification from shore to profit farmed shore. Home of the free to persecute any inconvenient elderly tenants

    WTF is wrong with people? Leave the guy alone. It’s not some 20 year old out there. Does the NPS even care about his story? Idiots. Sad day.

    When all the bidding is said and done all the people, the rich people that got the hands on these shacks should be named and how much they paid for the winning bids
    When the federal government put something out for bid it should be published in the newspapers who got the winning bid and how much they paid for it and what their taxes are going to be

    Massachusetts General Laws (Chapter 260 § 21), the squatter must remain on the property for at least 20 years to start an adverse possession claim. If the squatter is able to make the claim, they can't be treated as a criminal trespasser anymore

      Technically, he's the owner. He pays the taxes on the shack.

    Only the richest of the richest are going to get the hands on their shacks. It's a shame who's in charge the national interior that person can step in and allow this man to live the rest of his days in this shack. What a disgrace

    Good Lord! Can the National Park Service not have a little sympathy for this man., this artist, who has done no harm? The Use Agreement seems to ensure that he has at least a lifetime right to it. If not the land under the shack, he certainly has a moral right to it. Please, Park Service....let him back on it.

    Im trying to wrap my head around this ...
    Does he live there year round or only summer?
    If he were to pass (god forgive) would his son now gain possession?
    Who built these? Were they ever legally permitted?

    Provincetown (P-Town) is such a cool area, it was mind blowing to see how nice everyone is there, seems like mostly gay people living there, but everyone's super cool
