This topic frequently comes up with the "Zombie Homes" in my NY town. A non-incumbent mayoral candidate actually proposed a 3 month window where the land owner is notified before the city seizes the property, condemns the home, and demolishes it.

In my opinion, the more I hear about squatters rights, the more it sounds like the only appropriate solution.
