- coldtea 8y agoNot sure about the Netherlands, but from other places I know, if the empty building was dirty and falling apart, with broken windows and such, with junkies and other such people frequenting it, and the squatters painting it, made repairs, started doing community stuff (from soup kitchens to concerts), allowing some homeless/poor people to stay in, and so on, I'd qualify it as improvement over an idle building sitting there...
- mcv 8y agoI don't, but I can qualify it. Some squatters run neighbourhood projects or cultural projects of some sort, workshops, art-related stuff, community center, information meetings, that kind of thing.
