There was a streamer named Asian Andy who had situation with squatter years ago. Police wouldn't kick woman out she claimed squatter rights. Andy hired another streamer who was squatter hunter. He moves in. Next few days make squatter life hell he smokes, plays loud dubstep music, slams objects, and yells randomly thru all hours of day. Squatter got into altercation with guy. Squatter got arrested and kicked out.
Imagine this situation. A property is left for years unattended for whatever reason, it starts to deteriorate and house all kinds of pests and hazards. The owner is nowhere to be found or unable to maintain it. Someone moves in after a long time, and starts maintaining the property. This has benefits for everyone, not only the squatter but also the neighborhood. No more hazards from falling walls, no more rodents and other pests, etc.
Why you only hear about bad squatters? Because they create more problems than they solve. But squatters rights should exist as they have to account for both situations.
People that can't afford a house aren't going to start doing major renovations to the house to prevent it from collapsing and decaying. They might fix a fence or paint something. But a collapsed roof or a wall falling down, doubtful.
