The article alleges that squatting is an organized crime activity. I've never heard of this before. Do gangs really do this, or is it just renaming the activities of homeless individuals as organized crime? Because most of the homeless

2^^2 != 2^(2^2). Instead, 2^^2 = 2^2. This will make more sense if you look at how the inputs a,b,n in the toy (2,2,3) and (2,3,3) present differently.
