If it was a common problem, then yes. But it's relatively uncommon, and to be honest, I'd rather have the existing system in place where people can legally occupy unused buildings, because there is a lot of them around here. And lots of property owners just keep them empty for years until their "investment" gives them the returns they want, which to me is a bigger problem than okupas.

- diggan 2y ago> when an entire industry rises You mean that one legally gray company/organization that gets rid of squatters? Could hardly count as an "entire industry". And yes, it is still uncommon. Or what would you call it? "Common"? Most places are legally rented.
