Nation States Issues : You Can’t Always Get What You Squat

Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)

You Can’t Always Get What You Squat

After a group of unemployed students were found living in a disused furniture factory in CAPITALSNAME, landowners and law enforcement have become concerned with rising squatting levels in abandoned buildings.

I’ve encountered with 3 choices

1. “It’s time the government took action against squatting: it’s disgusting and it has to be stopped!” complains business mogul Megan Spirit. “These degenerates are disrespecting the factory I built up through hard work, and they have no right to trespass on it as if it were their own! Never mind that half of my buildings are unoccupied and crumbling to the ground. We should be allowed to remove squatters using whatever force is necessary!”

2. “What’s truly disgusting is how these corporate fat cats can be so unempathetic and cruel,” remarks social democrat Prudence Li. “They’re hoarding abandoned old buildings waiting for the property market to improve so they can make a fortune selling them off to greedy developers for luxury apartment blocks – and all the while their fellow NATIONSCITIZEN are sleeping rough without a roof over their heads! We should enact a compulsory purchase on all buildings that are unoccupied for longer than six months, and turn them into affordable housing for the homeless so they won’t have to resort to squatting in some dirty old factory. I don’t need to tell you where we can get the money from.”

3. “Maybe you’re looking for a solution in the wrong spot,” says a voice coming from your office closet. You open the door to discover Calvin O, roasting a chunk of indeterminate meat over a makeshift fire. “What’s so bad about squatting? I mean, most of the buildings we live in are abandoned or unoccupied anyway. There will always be homeless people, and the government needs to acknowledge this and give us the right to live off the land, even if it’s someone else’s. Now close the door, you’re letting in a draft.”

4. Dismiss the issue
