I'm a firm believer in private property, so I don't approve of 'taking over'
homes. On the other hand, it would be great if banks who own all these homes
could arrange for people to live there if they keep the property maintained.
People squatted in vacant houses in my neighborhood in Philly. The kind of
people who squatted in those days did a lot of damage...sold anything that
could be sold (ripped the copper pipes out of the walls), and destroyed the
rest. I suspect there is a higher class of homeless these days, but having
them squat in any property I (as a bank) owned would make me uneasy.

More radical stuff ahead...
I was reading the first news link this morning and that led me to the
second and third. I don't know what I think of this. What say ye?
