They are just an added burden to the government because they are free riders for me. They just want something for themselves at the government's expense. In the end, taxpayers are the losers of this game. More so, they are depriving other people of the opportunity to have these relocation houses, should they really need one.
while sadly this professional squatters are a reality, I wouldn't go as far as saying that everybody who is poor are the same, there are really really poor people who need the houses more than these professional squatters do. Bottom line here is which taxpayer pays the most taxes(in terms of ratio of tax to earnings/capacity to pay/surplus of income after necessities). It's the blue collar workers who are taxed so much they can even hardly feed their families with their meager salaries. While the rich ones? they all enjoy the tax holidays. Why can't government just exempt those earning below a certain amount each day from taxes(e.g. tax exempt for people earning 500 per day)
