The Inevitable Has Happened: Occupy Foreclosures

[lovuian]

Last night Occupy Oakland's General Assembly did something that is likely to catch on with occupations across the country.

They voted to encourage the occupation of foreclosed properties across their city. After all, the bursting of the property bubble is part of why they're on the streets right now.

There is a movement similar to this under the overall Occupy umbrella, It's called Occupy Vacant Properties, and it has been most visible in San Francisco, where families are even reclaiming their old homes post-foreclosures.

1. Great idea. The homeless should be able to go somewhere. If the

house or building is vacant then they should be able to go there until either someone else (homeowner) buys it or the government provides housing for them. It's the solution to the problem.
