"Why Rent When You Can Squat?" There is a google mashup for New York City that shows places where people have discarded furniture, clothing and other items so you can grab the stuff. One could create a mashup of Antioch pointing folks to abandoned homes, much the same way. Home Sellers in Trouble, do you think we're looking at beginning of the second Great Depression here?
