Squatting

"In Philadelphia, there are 35,000 abandoned buildings. One good solution is squatting. Living a squat is safer (and warmer) than living on the streets. It is cheaper by far than paying rent. Occupied buildings are safer than empty ones...

.Move in. Secure the building (locks inside and out, good strong doors). Fix holes....

Check out the legal status. To do this, take the address of your possible building to the tax record room on the bottom floor of the Municipal Building (Broad St. & J>F.K. Blvd in Philadelphia). Talk to people in charge there who will help you look up the address(es) in your records book. if your building is city,s state or federally owned, it is probably caught up in red tape and is safe to move into. If it is privately-owned, more than $1,000 tax delinquent, it is also probably safe."
