    Ah yes, squatters are known to only squat in rich people’s homes, and are known to take good care of homes instead of letting them rot.

      Good point, I guess we should just let the homes remain empty and the homeless on the streets?

      I get that having your home squatted in sucks, and if you were only out for a week long vacation and come back to a break in then you have my sympathy, but the message here is ultimately pointing out that houses have been commodified and turned into vehicles for investing by the rich, rather than a right like they should be. We have more empty homes than homeless people, and that simply isn’t just.

        How about we meet in the middle and let homeless stay in houses owned by corporations
