Only if you're a poor, disenfranchised chap and you're breaking into the place of something with way more money than you.
Hmm, given this logic, is it possible to break into a homeless shelter?

So the police had a pretty good idea there was a crime being committed and they stood by and watched. Guess they earned there pay because nothing got out of hand.

According to the comments, the rest of the story on the cops is that they were told not to make arrests. One poster even put some of the city's top cops' numbers there for people to call and bitch.
QUOTE Specifically, he said the city should foreclose on buildings where hefty back taxes are owed or use its powers of eminent domain to turn over long-vacant homes to nonprofit developers.
Insanity.
First of all, you can't take a property on a whim. And who sets the line of when a property is far enough behind in taxes to where it can be taken by the city? And keep in mind, the property would need to be owned outright by someone. What if in addition to no taxes being paid, no payments were being made to the lender? In that case, the lender should assume control of the property, not the city.
Secondly, eminent domain? Really? So you want Big Brother to come in and just take property from people whenever they feel like it? Why? Because you think the government should tell people how to use their property? Go fuck yourself. You can feel free to let the government run your life, but I'd prefer they stay out of mine. The government should be like a guardian angel. You never see or hear it, but it's there protecting you without interfering in your life.
Third, who the fuck are you to tell people what to do with their property? You can claim "It's for the greater good!", but quite honestly, how the fuck do you know? Oh, look we put a roof over someone's head. Great. Now what?
Look around you asshole and you'll see a nation of spoiled, lazy fucks who ask what their country can do for them first instead of getting a job and/or an education and doing things for themselves. This is a direct result of government handouts.
Explain to me how this evolves the human race and moves us forward as a species. It doesn't. It promotes laziness. It doesn't motivate. It teaches people that they don't have to do anything or learn anything because the government will provide by taking from people who do work hard and do educate themselves.
Yeah, that's a wonderful ideal you're promoting you small minded idiot.
But if you insist upon free housing one of the people who commented on the linked article had a fantastic idea, you see Alcatraz is just sitting there...vacant...

it was actually taken over by Injuns in the 70's. They kept it for over a year.
This was before it was a national park.

Last time I was there, over half the island was fenced off because of the fucking seagulls. It was their mating or hunting or migrating or doing nothing season, I don't remember which.
