    Squatting In The US

    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...

    Squatting With The Keys

    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 least --- the cops will generally leave you alone and consider it a civil matter. The double edged sword here is that if you are going...

    "The Joys of Being Homeless" - old article with good tips

    I found this article while lost in some internet rabbit hole during the summer. I saved it as I thought it was very good, and I was worried the site it was on would go offline, as it looked like it hadn't been updated in years. I think it will be of interest to a lot of people on this site. I've...

    Bests cities to squat in?

    Hey Y'all, I hope you're all staying safe and healthy right now but I know this is a very hard time for a lot of folks so you have my sympathies and prayers. While I'm stuck in place and likely not going anywhere for a long while I started to wonder about what cities are the best to be...

    Free utilities

    I know in a lot of abandoned buildings, there's a power box with no lock. You just take the little piece of red tape out from between the two currents, open up the meter and stuff something in between the dial and the thing that holds it to stop it from rotating, and voila! You have free power...

    Turning over the squat

    My squatting is coming to an end. I can either: turn my squat over to the city, giving me some protection if something happens to the physical structure. Declaring the property vacant would give me some legal protection. Or, instead of declaring the property abandoned, give it over to a...
