Housing market collapses, millions foreclosed, rents rise as houses sit abandoned rather than be sold at a loss and you think to occupy the public spaces- the only thing you, the serfs, can think of. The obvious answer is staring us in the face. All of our slogans about occupation and no one is occupying the foreclosures and empties. There is plenty sufficient housing in the US yet we'd rather sleep in the wind, cold and rain. All of the moral justification necessary exists. It has been proven that the world is ready to complain. About damn time. It has been proven that the support network is there for widespread action. Why kettle all this in where it can be scrutinized, harassed, and eventually stifled? If one looks into the practicality of this it has great potential. Just a proposition -
Not yet ready I see. Thoughts still clouded by anger.
I'll just leave this here. in case. http://theimaginarycommittee.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/occupation-guide.pdf

On that note if you would like to know what properties are owned by banks look in the back tax records. Banks suck at paying taxes.
Or they are owned by banks or they are owned by cities. A couple of times a year cities hold auctions for houses that have been defaulted to taxes.
Yet they do- people cannot afford to keep or buy housing, banks don't like to sell them at a loss. To them the property is more valuable than any dwellings there-on. If the house rots from lack of use they will get the loan to replace it down the road anyway. Meanwhile the few who have investment capital are buying up properties (knowing that the property is valuable) and since there are dwellings there converting them to rent spaces. You pay their taxes, everyone is subjected to slavery through property. Why occupy the public spaces- they are the only thing you will have when it is all over.
I can't see why a house should remain empty when people need shelter
