So, there are plenty of abandoned buildings in plain view around me, factories, burned out homes, not so burned out homes, boarded up store fronts on all but desolate neighborhoods. some with locks but no one around to tend them (forclosures), some with owners but still abandoned buildings that said owners havent been fixing up or using in any manner, some buildings completely abandoned and left to rot, some buildings (especially factories around here) that might be missing a few walls but is otherwise structurally stable and un guarded.
Im just wondering... if i wanted to break into a building to use as a squat, what should i look for in and on the building to ensure i wont get arrested, stabbed by crack heads, or burried in rubble?
what kinds of things should i work to do once i find the right building to keep myself from getting arrested, stabbed or burried in rubble?
specifically:
What should i be ready to look for and do in an abandoned building to make it safe for anywhere from a day's stay to a month, if say im just holding out in a city i havent got any couches to surf or any squats already established to join in on?
and what should i be ready to look for and do in an abandoned building to make it safe for a season or several years if i plan on settleing down or setting up some sort of long term living in said building? (Aside from legal stuff... which ironically i understand better than the right place to set up shop.)
