California Dreamin' Turns Nightmarish: When Your Airbnb Guest is a 550-Pound Squatter
Altadena, California – the land of sunshine, avocado toast, and now, apparently, ursine squatters. Ken Johnson, a homeowner in this idyllic slice of the Golden State, recently discovered he was sharing his property with a tenant of the four-legged, clawed, and decidedly non-rent-paying variety: a 550-pound black bear [2]. This isn't some weekend visitor; this is a long-term residency situation, a furry freeloader who has apparently taken up residence under Johnson's house since Thanksgiving [2]. One wonders if he left a bad review on Yelp after finding the crawlspace to be a bit drafty.
