GRAB A VILLA
Squatting seems to be a credible form of housing in the current public mood, says Barbara Ellen of the Observer. The press reports frequently about evicted people who squat their former homes. So called Posh Squatting seems to be fashionable. More and more artists squat place to live, work and exhibit. This even happens in prime locations. Remember only last years TheDa! Collective which took over some multimillion-pound mansions in Mayfair.
Do you agree that squatting is widely accepted in the current days? Do you feel that a more left-wing approach to life is coming back? Might this be just some necessity in an economic downturn? Or could it be that this crisis changes our appreciation for squatting as a sustainable form of living for a bit longer?
Have your say here.
