In 2018 I cracked a squat in the center of the French Quarter. No crowbars, no drilling locks, no broken windows. Clean. Efficient. It's even a government building. All I had to do was get elected mayor. Shit, they've flown me first class all over the world and never even had to pay a dime or...
Hello! I stubbled across this community on reddit and was encouraged to check it out! I've always been interested in Anarchism and squatting in general so I would absolutely love to learn more.
I'm planning to squat in LA sometime during the fall and winter so I can have some place to be while...
I am a university student and have been spending the last 4 months focusing my projects on squatting - aiming to educate myself on something that I previously must admit was very ignorant to.
I am aiming now to create a zine-like publication/handbook which aims to briefly advice on the tips...
this video from penetration testing cyber security consultants has a pretty good overview of cracking modern doors and other juicy bits of info for squat crackers.
Hiyaa I am looking to get out of my current housing situation, I am trying to find a crew I could join / set ine up or really any method to house myself (van or trailer) - though this is tricky because i cant drive😭 If ur in Bristol/ know people there plz get in touch i dont really know many in...
Hello! I feel there is a lack of information on how to squat in Europe so here is a valuable guide for free.
Much like France and Belgium, the Netherlands has vibrant squatting culture. There are "cultural freezones" aka squats that are sort of recognised by the government (but also not...
There's a house nearby that hasn't been lived in for many years... 10 at least.. And well a couple questions..
1. I found out i believe that it may be owned by a bank.. and i think it was chat gpt that told me that banks watch their propertys and well it would be much more difficult..
2. with...
Maybe you've heard of this but I sure haven't. Sounds dangerous for all sorts of reasons and doesn't seem stealthy enough to be viable. There weren't any MSM articles about it and the Phrogging subreddit was private. Dark web something something. Your thoughts...
hey yall, my name is ty and im going to start squatting and such, but im not sure how to start. i wanna train hop and do shit like that but i dunno where to begin. anyone close to rexburg or north idaho who can help me?
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?
Hey,
Anyone down to join forces and squat in Atlanta. Ive been doing this for awhile but the pandemic scared me into being a housie. I feel it's time to move on now and get back to my roots.
Yo looking to team up and find some foreclosed homes or apartments to squat with.
My name's Stevie former train hopper full time anticapitalist. These piece of shit banks and large companies are buying up properties and letting them sit empty. Time to show them if you don't use it you lose it...
After 4 amazing years, my squat is about to get evicted. The bank sold it and the company that bought it came by and said we'll have 72 hours to get out after they take possession of it on Feb 4. Washington state law says that would be true if it was owner occupied, but since it's tenant...
The current state of squatting in most cities, unless folks are interested in rust belt or other cities with failed economic prospects….is fucked. After many years squatting in Suckfrancisco, the tides finally turned. We were incredibly lucky to hold a squat in the mission for over 8 years...
Haven't been on this site for a while but figure this is the place to post.
So apparently California has the some of the best 'squatters rights" laws in the USA.
Why are there no squats in Los Angeles!
The city is full of occupiable buildings.
I'd like to make a plan to take over a...
In your journey's are there places in the Eastern part of the states that you've traveled by and looking back on it (now that someone's asking), think that might be a good reclusive place to pitch a wagon/tent and graze some livestock for a while before getting booted off? (If so what states or...
Hey all,
I ran across this online, and thought some of you might appreciate it!

Anyone know any squats in Dallas? I can contribute my food stamps, some painting/minor repair, photoshopping, cleaning. I know it's a long shot but figured I'd ask.
So I've kinda given up on making plans. Since I've started traveling, over half of the plans I've made to go certain places and do certain things ended up not happening because of something else that came up. But I still like to idly wonder "what if I did this?". So here's my latest "what...
I want to apologize to the community for creating posts that may seem like I'm a scammer. I actually creat posts in hopes I can help someone out there who might be in need of a squat weather long term or just whatever the reason may be.
I will continue to post information about properties in...
So I found out the property has a $550 outstanding water bill. I'm gonna go down to the city try to pay the bill. I talked to lady from the water service and said I can only pay in person and that I could set it up in a different account.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and pay the $550 water bill...
So.... I know of a 7 bedroom 3 bath home in Portland Oregon and I'm looking for people to occupy rooms with me. Inner Se Portland. I have keys utilities hooked up locks changed and owner is going into non-judicisl forclosure who wants to squat
So here I am moving out of a squat after having ongoing problems with utilities. I'm wheeling out my fridge on a dolly when I run into a cop I the driveway.
He immediately asks,". Does the owner know your doing this I need owner phone num er to call him and make sure he knows your doing...
Ok y'all, I'm putting some feelers out on his early.
I have this romantic Kerouac-esque plan to hitch across the country this spring, then set up home base in 4 cities I very much enjoy for a season each to experience something other than Brooklyn, where I've lived my whole life.
Portland...
Hello, I'm a babyish leftist looking to set up squats for people as it gets colder out in Denver. I'm hoping to get in touch with anyone nearby who is already doing this- but also with people from anywhere in the world with tips on how to get started.
Been living here for a week or two now, think I'm done with it. It was really nice. Was gonna try and find a job in town and work a month or maybe all winter. Hattiesburg ms. Right off the train tracks. Heading to mobile next. It was fun. I left a push broom and a citronella candle behind. The...
I just moved into a house that is abandoned. The owner died 3 years ago and his wife moved halfway across the country. Planning on fixing up the yard and then getting water and electricity turned on, but not sure about how to do that. I've never paid bills in my life, as I've been living with...
Hey y'all, I been in the midwest for a bit looking at some places to squat in my hometown, and I gotta ask. What even does it mean when a property is owned by a trust? I've been coming across some places that are owned by em, and while I do know the Google results for what a trust is I'm curious...
My family has been told to vacate after living in the same place for 20 years. We've never missed rent, but a new landlord bought my place and is kicking us out so he can double the rent. I'm not sure the covid eviction moratorium fully protected people in our circumstance where renovation...
Hey folks, if you're in Pdx come out for a movie night! Some buddies are having a benefit event and I'm helping boost this. Come out to Pennsula park on 9/11 to watch some cool squatUmentaries, meet other squattas & anarchos and have some fun! Here's more info on it:
Tl;dr how to make a spooky cabin more cozy while treading lightly?
I’ve recently acquired de-facto possession of an old cabin on a riverbank. I don’t want to give away the location but it’s actually a semi-famous building with a really interesting history. Inside i found Brochures from 2019...
I'm new here and just wanted to say high. I've spent over a decade traveling the lower 48 and parts of Canada most recently by van. Right now though I'm only traveling part time to help support my family more. I hope all are well and I look forward to interacting with you all!
I've done my reading by this point, apparently the city is tearing itself to pieces trying to keep up with the rate of abandonment. Theoretically, it should be pretty easy to squat a house. At the same time has anyone been there recently? Are there spots, green flags, is there a good way to go...
Hey all,
So I've got a work-stay set up at a sweet spot outside of Vegas, but it doesn't start til August. For personal reasons, I'd like to leave my current state and be in Nevada prior to that, for up to a couple of weeks. I have a couple friends in Reno, so I could probably get a couple...
Recently I've been struggling with finding places to live or even squat. I've been sleeping on the benches of Tompkins Square Park (LES manhattan) and I'd really like to know how I can find places in NYC to squat or where I can find experienced people here who know about this stuff.
Also im...
(This ones gonna be quick and messy but might post a better in-depth thread on this area with pics i dunno)
One time a few months back one of my friends took me to this abandoned area with a lot of abandoned structures in the area. Its the Staten Island Abandoned Farm Colony. In NYC, ya take...
Looks like the first cop killed in the line of duty in the US was killed by squatters who were all aquited in a jury trial:

So, the last time I was in New Orleans was in 2006 after the hurricane. I ran into someone I knew from having been there the year before and stayed in a squat with (the old rice mill). So, we thought it would be fun to go break into it and get shitfaced there. We all went up to the roof, and...
Hey, I'm in cali at my hometown of sacramento and they bulldozed our village of tents on the freeway, so I moved to the other side of the fence so cal trans couldn't say anything and all I have to trip off of is the bulls which never come here and the tourists in town train ride can't see this...
There's a sweet abandoned place close to me, I think it was a preschool or nursery or something. It's been abandoned and untouched for a while, maybe 5-10 years? It's on kind of a suburban area, though. I'm personally not squatting there, but I was thinking about posting the location here for...
I am a highly skilled Marketing Professional, living that digital nomad life with moderate success. Vegan, social-entrepreneur, and activist. I have wanted to move to Vegas for something like 7 years now, and finally about to achieve that goal.
My company is doing well and I am currently...
This is a long shot but I'm really up against it. Philly residents or folks who are familiar with the city...are there any good spots you know of either in squats or bandos where I could possibly find a little shelter from the elements without exposing myself to too many other people? I've been...
Brought this over from where I published it earlier as it kinda applies to freight hopping and many folks may only read in here, dunno.
I used to do a lot of foreclosure work back in the day in between hopping freights. Nine times out of ten, if you have the keys to a residence --- in the US at...
