[skitout]

1) If it is where you lived they always could be (and were) kicked out quickly (and it was not that simple in other situations)

2) Now the law changed and it is much easier and faster to kick them out. It was always illegal to squat, now sanction are higher

3) Most squatters are not targeting houses. And all the time squats are mainly building not used for years (as it safer and easier for squatters, and sometimes as a way to "minimize" disturbances)

Please note that in Holland some kind of squat were legals for years (only for building not used for years and with obligation to not damage the property and to give it back quickly). Seems interesting to me
