I remember when there was a housing crisis in 2008 and to s of houses had been built. I drove through a ghost town in Phoenix. All of the houses were brand new, the grocery store was great, and there were little shops ready to go. I was the only one not working in that area, and the parking lot was empty.
If you had told me to squat those houses, I wouldn't have had a problem.
Simping for landlords and real estate is some libertarian bullshit that just won't fucking die, where anything you can afford is permissible, even if it's bad for literally everyone but you.
I get how it happens of course. You don't want to make it acceptable for the state to erode the idea of private property, so you gotta chimp out at even the lightest criticism. The state would take whatever it could, if it thought it could get away with it. Problem is, landlords are way past the point where light criticism is enough, and that is entirely on them. They had to be responsible on their own, and they weren't.
I'm leaving my hometown next year, and it wasn't the squatters who drove me out.

Unfortunately, rats tend to multiply and become an even bigger problem in only a short amount of time.
