Unfortunately, most of the stories I am reading these days are like this one from Minnesota:<BR/><BR/>http://www.startribune.com/local/36803874.html<BR/><BR/>It's time for municipalities to develop policies that welcome squatter entry if it's done in a structured and sensible way through groups like Take Back the Land.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, cities pay big bucks for law enforcement to keep homes vacant and ultimately, as is the case in a number of cities in the rust belt, wind up demolishing many homes that could easily be saved.rnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115499862681364911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9738873.post-63703736949012088542008-12-28T22:37:00.000-05:002008-12-28T22:37:00.000-05:00I like it.

It's something I wonder doesn't happen everywhere, particularly with the huge abandoned housing districts in so many midwestern downtowns. <BR/><BR/>But what I like the most is that the neighbors know exactly what is going on, and they aren't saying anything! That suggests that somehow America is beginning to understand and accept that need is more important than greed. I wonder, perhaps, if there are relationships that could be made on the streets and sideyards so that even if the squatters were evicted, they wouldn't need to worry so for their children and their life--isn't that what neighbors and friends are for?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919737927041343977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9738873.post-38038853953473964932008-12-23T15:48:00.000-05:002008-12-23T15:48:00.000-05:00Robert-One week back in the U.S. and I too just fo...Robert-<BR/><BR/>One week back in the U.S. and I too just found out about Take Back the Land.

You're doing noble work.<BR/><BR/>As a recently laid-off journalist, I'm exploring the world of social networking and have posted a story that you might find interesting. It's about a "shack city" that sprang up on the grounds of a Minnesota state hospital where I formerly worked.
