It's usually very difficult to have a squatted house evicted, because the squatters have legal protection meaning the owners pretty much always have to go to court to fight long legal procedures in order to get them out. That's why often when a building becomes unoccupied, the owners will have people living in there for a very low rent to prevent it from being squatted (=anti-squatting).
I don't think I would want to live in one myself (I agree with T&B about it seeming too much of a lifestyle), but I've been to a few that looked pretty great. |
That makes sense, because I listen to Radio Netherlands.
