Has anyone ever lived in a squat? My friend lives in a really nice, cosy squat and has done for two years. It's really safe...and most importantly, free. The people that live there are very creative, which is a great environment to be in if you want to be around such people. I'm not exactly happy living where I am at the moment.

The only problem is my mate is (surprisingly) from a good background,(dreadlocks, and all!) and has an address to use, (her parents), when she applies for jobs . Which I wouldn't have.

Has anyone squatted, or considered it?
