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...
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...
Heloou, Someone want to go to travel from Czech Republic to south Spain and around?
Im from Argentina, living in a car since 3 years, currently in a squat in Czech Republic.
Cheers
Hi everyone! New to this site so here's a bit about me....
I started squatting at 15, traveling/hitching/hopping at 16. Traveled all over the country multiple times that way until I got pregnant at 20 and got off the road for my kid... Did a lot of domestic, responsible shit in the past 17 years...
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...
New to all of this, been a long time camper and hiker tho. The road life has been calling me for a while. Cool to find an online community. Can't wait to learn and share with y'all. Peace.
I will be updating this journal so you can see in real time how things develop. Typically day by day, unless it's a nonsense day.
I am brand new to this, so it all comes from the eyes of a total newbie.
Day 1 - Three floors on the house I found. Basement has water and electricity, and a broken...
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...
