Can we establish that the squatters are doing this out of economic necessity and not to "profit" (e.g can't afford to rent or own someplace else)? I imagine so as living with no security in an abandoned building with no utilities seems pretty desperate, sub-optimal and sad.

If we can then realistically the root cause to this is lack of housing supply. "Just build more f**ing houses" would fix this no?
