The recent “housing crisis” is neither new as a social phenomenon nor is it an isolated instance of poor decision making or “risky investment strategy” on the part of captains of the financial and housing industries. Rather, these incidents-the creation and “collapse” of the housing “bubble,” the implosion of lending and mortgage companies, and the mass home foreclosures and disenfranchisement of the poor-are merely the most recent chapters in a long history of systematic oppression of the majority population by an elite ruling class.
This site was created to facilitate autonomous reclamation of vacant land, providing access to safe shelter for all members of the community, with the belief that the solution to housing problems is community control of the land/community determination of housing.
