St. Paul looks for squatters in foreclosed homes

The St. Paul Pioneer Press looks at one of the inevitable results of having a lot of foreclosed properties: Squatting. MPR also recently covered the subject, discussing the circumstances that might lead people to become squatters. A lot of countries make legal provisions for squatters; this is generally not the case in the United States, where squatting is generally treated as trespassing. Interesting, Minneapolis apparently has enough of a history of squatting to have been the subject of a book, although scant details about the book are online.
