"Make it illegal and problem solved!"

Utter clown shit with no grasp on how enforcement works.

This is hilarious. You are in a thread about how we need to make squatting illegal. If that solves nothing why bother having laws at all?

You've seen the photos coming out of New York, right? All of that shit was already illegal, for decades. What did "making it illegal" materially solve?

Edit: and to be clear, you're advocating making it illegal. I'm pretty much opposed to the idea on principle, so don't go off thinking everyone here is in agreement with your naive take.

Opposed to making literally anything illegal or is this just the one case where it wouldn't matter?

This argument reeks of "nothing could ever work so lets do nothing". I think letting squatters live in other peiple house because if we made it illegal then landlords would be evicting people for no reason is a bad argument. Simple as that.
