Here in the UK I would settle for the reintroduction of squatter's rights. Tony Blair abolished them.

(To be completely accurate, you are still entitled to claim land after 12 years unchallenged adverse possession. What changed under Blair is you now also need the permission of the landowner. Which you will never get.)
