Who wins in squatland?

Article Abstract:

Some people squatting in empty houses in London, England, are actively seeking to exploit the inefficiency of local authorities, placing themselves in a position where they can claim legal ownership of the property. Such squatters have many similarities with the ruthless capitalists they claim to hate. In contrast, other squatters are genuinely trying to work for the common good, ensuring that empty houses can offer much-needed and affordable accommodation. In Hackney, for example, squatters are planning to join the Network Housing Association.

None of us is getting any younger

Article Abstract:

The new haircut adopted by footballer David Beckham is taken as an example of the existence of a quarterlife crisis when a person is in his or her mid-20s. Youth culture is very isolated, and it can be hard to make the transition into full adult life.
