In the mid nineties, a group of people who have been living in (and taking good care of) abandoned buildings in New York City try to defend their “squatters’ rights” to hold on to the homes they’ve been in for many years. The city wants to tear the buildings down for “development,” but the squatters try to take both a legal and physical stand against the "establishment." (I'm using a lot of quote marks here. I think the weirdly pretentious air of the book affected me. These people were kind of self-righteous for a bunch of homeless hippies. Still, they were interesting.)
This was a strange story. I liked the characters and wanted to know what happened to them, but ended up rather disappointed.
