Housing the homeless is not. The state and their developer friends would much rather demolish houses to prop up property prices than give them to people in genuine need of housing The tactics of Madnesshttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/104043#comment2971642013-09-15T14:16:27+00:00newsmedianewsmedia at eircom dot netNothing new here sadly.

As a squatter in 1982 I renovated a badly damaged prefab on a small plot with about 6 other prefabs in Forest Hill, south London, replacing broken windows, fixing up a damaged interior and making kitchen and bathroom useable. The property had been empty for several years. <br />
<br />
The neighbours were friendly and raised no complaints. A homeless friend moved in with me.<br />
<br />
About two weeks later we went out one day for several hours and when we returned found the place had been completely smashed up inside by council workmen ordered to carry out the destruction by the local council to prevent anyone occupying the property.<br />
<br />
Conversely I had been living for one year in a small one bedroom house in Sydenham with the blessing of the estate agent owners who came to visit me after I moved in, saw the place was well kept and told me to stay there rent free as a 'caretaker' as the property would not be going on the market for some time.<br />
<br />
And before that I lived in a big house in Crystal Palace Park Road for over two years - one of about 10 'empty' and very expensive properties that had been taken over by squatters, who banded together and were given permission by Lambeth Council to continue staying in the houses provided they took care of them. <br />
<br />
What we are seeing today is ignorant selfishness driven by blind adherence to greed.
