Click the title or try this link to the 2nd story on Squatters...This is about Squatters retaking their Homes and Neighborhood Homes....Know this, in Europe in many Countries Squatters are not considered illegal- they care for properties and keep them safe and clean, and prevent Vandals.( In some countries they leave power and water in Squatted Properties- so the properties can be upkept).

Squatters over there should turn into an uprising over here over how the banking industry, and their corporate enablers are overtaking what belongs to the people.
squatting is not really an organized protest- its about people claiming empty homes for shelter...here in my hood this is happening...and also car and van people....it's happening all over- most of them live quietly..trying to figure out if they are breaking the law....just trying to shelter their families...
it is really mostly about families needing shelter...
Homeless Shelters do not meet the needs of families...at all...
squatting is about people having shelter- but it also means that the neighborhoods are still lived in and face less destruction and vandalism.....
( Denmark, Finland and Holland it is legal....and in England it "happens' and the police look the other way....)
I see nothing wrong with it.. as long as they are not destroying the property and I am sure they aren't.. just putting roofs over their head to get out of the weather and have a safe place to sleep for their families.. it's all good.
this is also a trend from the 30's...also in the 30's neighborhoods would ban together and buy the dollar houses so families could come back...
Sorry E...Squatters here are like locusts. So far every building they have inhabited in my neighborhood has been stripped of all copper, furnaces, water heaters, or used to peddle crack. 2 so far have been burned down, they come, they steal electricity from neighboring properties, they destroy, they move on.
Okay..
Walking man......what you have are not true squatters...sadly they are vandals...( we have some of those too- and had many when I was downtown)...that is a whole different story....so sorry....
E...They stay until either the police run them off or the property is no longer habitable. There is so much abandoned buildings here that the moving on is easy for the squatters.
sorry wm.....
not a good situation for anyone...
