[imc-sheffield] Re: Social centres are evil!

[mark mozaz wallis]

i posted it to the sheffield list because of my
homelessness.. the open space of the farm going as
quick as it appeared.. on going conversations within
the smaller circles of people that make this movement
about such spaces.. me i have always had the dream of
a long term rented warehouse space to live in and be
creative and be their for the community.. while squats
have there use for the short term.. we need to take
the long view here.. that's why i for one find it a
cool idea to rent space.. it builds and creates a
wider community than squats can ever do.. this comes
from over 20 years of direct squatting and 13 of those
years not having a real stable home.. yes we have
squatted space and made it last for six months.. a
house more than three years.. but that more from luck
than skill.. true on average i can make a space work
for three months.. however the advent of the cja 1994
/ the change to the police and criminal evidence act
1996.. changes to homeless laws 2000.. it has made
squatting more of a challenge for me.. but others have
just given up the ghost due to these hassles.. if we
look under the gloss of new labour.. there is one very
big housing crisis looming.. so i welcome renting
space and squatting as a means to an end.. once i have
re-squatted another space i'll give more time into
writing a more structured article if you feel you have
a input then i'll take your comments on board and i'll
be using some of the leeds article as part of this..
