| Detail squatted house in Spuistraat - Anton Hein |
Tolerated since the early Seventies as one way to alleviate a serious housing shortage, the Netherlands recently banned squatting.
While the original squatters had the sympathy of many Dutch citizens, in recent years the squatting movement became increasingly anarchistic -- making it impossible to continue tolerating its practices.
Update: the squat in this building was ended in 2015, and the building has now been razed. Legal wranglings
