You don't see many empty houses in the UK because the cost so much here due to planning laws.
Our problem is we can't get anyone to set up a business and who can blame them.

we know of quite a few empty properties but apart from squatting in them, what can we do about them? our local council dosent even have an "empty homes officer".
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

If you go around Liverpool or Manchester, you'll find LOADS of empty houses. When I was working for Nestle and was out on the road, I would go to places like Burnley and Bolton, and there were places that were empty houses all along a street! No joke or exageration. I took a photo of it, I was that shocked.

Well I stand corrected. I know there are a few houses unoccupied but I must confess I am surprised at that. Very few houses around where I live.

I think it was Liverpool selling off houses for a fiver a few years ago. Just to get people moving in and do up what were empty boarded up properties. We are talking whole streets of empty houses.
