For a while now, there has been a huge misconception about squatting, the usual train of thought is trespass on private property or basically stealing a property, this is a misinformed view of squatting. There is also the view that most squatters end up getting evicted, the reason being that most squatters don't know the law.
and this is where it seems confusing what we need to get our heads around
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_possession
squatter's rights are a specific form of adverse possession.
there you have it, so it is possible to achieve adverse possession, without necessarily squatting.
it's worth looking at adverse possession or should we say squatting from the adverse possession point of view. many squats i've seen usually get evicted after maximum a few years, and some within months of starting.
many of the beings into squatting are peaceful and run various activities however since they have kept their mindsets to squatting, they are missing a key to receiving some stability for their activities and sharing.
hopefully more squatters will begin to take the time to really look at adverse possession closely and what it involves so they have some sustainable locations to develop from.
my thoughts would be get studying adverse possession if you're thinking of or are required to do some squatting.
