If we support the squatter lifestyle (I don't necessarily disagree here), do we give the squatters ownership of their home and /or the land where they reside, do we ensure them rights etc? Do we raise the residents of squatter communities to a level of respect in society that is equal to the middle class? How will the people becoming EMPOWERED? These people must have pride, that is what will get them through this. I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying here.
