Hello all! My name is Robbie, a housing reporter for Stateline, a nonprofit news outlet covering state and city policy, I hope you are all doing well! I want to be transparent and say that I am looking for perspectives and interviews from squatters for a national news story I'm working on...

Found a good place to squat since my last one was found out. This time there's nobody to come check on the place. However my main issue is getting inside. There's two glass sliding doors and one window that would be optimal entry points, however I can't get them open with this method. Any advice?

An interesting and horrifying insight into how COVID could impact homelessness in the US by causing a mass wave of evictions. The evils of rent and housing costs might come to a head here in the next few months. Probably not. But maybe. Gotta love John Oliver:

Not long ago, on Dec. 30th 2019 I decided to bail out of the current living conditions I was under in south central ohio with no plan whatsoever except the experience of the past encoded in my bones. With all my trash packed tight in one bag, I hitched a ride from the sticks to a Microtel...

This winter I've decided that I need a break from the road after 3 years on full time. My idea is to stay in Portland, because I know a few folks that live there, but I'm having trouble finding a place to live. It's already hard for me to justify paying rent after being rent free for so long...

So I'm not a great writer so please try and stay with me. I'm living in Marietta, Oh due to the fact my partner is about to get out of prison and she is going to be paroled here. I've been trying to be an upstanding citizen whilst here and have even been working part time at a hot dog store. I...

Hi all. I'm a long time lurker. Love this place, and I've gotten lots of valuable info here. Thought maybe I could return the favor. Not last winter, but the winter prior I did this free 9 month wooden boatbuilding apprenticeship (Sept-June) on the coast of Maine. It's a pretty good gig...

Holy Fucking Shit. I am posting this video to inform people, who would want to care, about how terrible the housing crisis is in this country. I ran across this John Oliver video on Bernie Sander's Facebook page. It explains how large corporations are buying mobile home parks, and jacking up...

Beyond Sqaut or Rot: Anarchist Approaches to housing. As someone who has spent a considerable portion of my life fascinated by co-housing and/or coop housing and has visited many variants of such, Im quite surprised that I have never read this.

THIS IS A LENGTHY POST AND I'M GOING TO KEEP ADDING TO IT AT INTERVALS UNTIL IT'S DONE Others can & should share their answers at any time I guess this should be moved to either the Squatting or Alternative Housing forums if it makes the cut __________________ In SF between 2011 and 2015 I had...

Got a summer job here in BC working shit hours (2pm-11pm/11pm-730am shifts) and am living in staff accommodation. Won't go into detail, but the situation here is getting pretty fucked. Does anyone know much about tenants rights in Canada when it comes to staff housing? I only need to be here...

So, I’ve tried to run a punkhouse. Unfortunately, we had people move in saying they were down with the culture and willing to participate in such an environment, and turned out to be selfish posers looking for cheap rent. They don’t want to clean up after themselves, do chores, an didn’t...

I 'm in my house after 3 months of traveling, and it's so good to be back with my friends and housemates! I'm facing the issue of having to be a part-time housemate, as I'm on the couch until my sublet leaves in May. I'm going to look for other places to stay, so they can have the living room...

So I have being living in ny city on and off for the past 12 years. I want to get affordable housing, as at this point in my life that's what (I think) I want and need. I also don't make enough to qualify for low income housing lottery, and public housing for non drug addicts and section 8 is...

Hi! I'm new here! :D I'm 31 years old looking for a studio apartment for rent in or near Largo, St. Pete F.L. Currently living in Tampa but found a job in St. Pete and need to move ASAP because my only transportation is my bicycle. Also I will like to meet people in the area!

Folks: the site wouldn't let me put this into 'Conversations' so I had to make it an article. Do any of you speak Chinese? Can you get past the Fire Wall? Yesterday, Xi Jingping, and the local officials just evicted thousands of poor, underskilled workers from their homes, under the excuse of...
