The Cause of the City Squatter

The causes of squatter

Due to economic reasons

Squatters are people who have relocated from rural areas to the urban areas in search for better economic opportunities. High cost of living and lack of proper housing force them to squat wherever they want. They either relocate to the peripheries of the cities where the quality of life is gloomy or to the centre of the cities where overpopulation leads to lack of job opportunities and more suitable house. The homeless have a tendency to find for shelter and they do so in abandoned properties, even if the property is in a bad condition or unsuitable place to stay.

To evade criminal acts performed on homeless people such as theft


Thieves target homeless people on the streets as their only possession for money and if victimized, they are less likely to contact the police as they know the authorities won't give any attention to their problems.

Social exclusion

People who are stigmatized may occupy abandoned properties as they are not accepted in their communities or in other communities because of their past or may be some problems.

Might be anarchists


Anarchists do not believe in the validity of a ruling power and hence, they diobey the rules. They will attribute their rebellion to political issues and squatting can be one form of their protest.
