  1. EXCELLENT IDEA! here in the states it's VERY common for single families to own 5, 10 or 15 homes. they don't live in them. they're mainly just tax right-offs and they'll sit unoccupied for years, even decades. meanwhile we have families living out of their cars or in makeshift "tent" cities. I just moved from L. A. to a small rural town and BOTH places are inundated with empty stores and unused business property. this is what capitalism does - IT WASTES EVERYTHING! the elite would rather something go unused than to let it be used for free to help people. capitalism produces a throw away society. something breaks; its cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one rather than fix or upgrade the one you have. and the cost of everything you buy is 75% throw away packaging with no purpose other than to make it harder for those who can't afford it to take it without paying. but if anyone in the states tried to do what these british anarchists did SWAT Teams would invade and cordon off the area, surround the building and ATTACK!
