You are addressing squatting in general. You latch on to the "homeless" aspect. Yet the bulk of the article wasn't about that, was it? Certainly the subject of this very thread should point you to the part that interested the OP. Do you have any comments re: extortion, or perhaps the plight of legitimate lease holders, or people lieing about being legitimate lease holders?
I read a bit in the Boston Globe a few months ago about a man, a Local Hero, whose job (self imposed) is to brow beat banks into "forgiving" bad loans. The very same article, with no sense (I could stop right there) of irony pointed out how five, ten years ago the very same man's job (self imposed) was to brow beat banks into giving bad loans. The man's job (self imposed) is to steal houses. Hunt LewRockwell.com for articles further pointing out the government's role in creating the current situation.
And then a "clever" diversion...

Are you worried about the war crimes that the previous administration got away with?
Will you be worried about the war crimes that the next administration will get away with?
Are you clamoring (the above protestation notwithstanding) for the current administration to fix the "housing problem"? Do you suggest that they do so by taking my money?
