Once all the activists and their lawyers get involved, it'll be all but impossible to pry these people out of their newfound 'homes'. And if they finally do manage to get them to leave, who'll be responsible for getting these properties cleaned out, decontaminated and repaired? When a recent illegal homeless encampment on city property was ordered to vacate, the bums just up and walked away, leaving all their junk and trash behind and sticking the taxpayers with a $160K bill for hazard waste removal and general cleanup.
There was a recent case in Oakland CA where a group of welfare mothers decided to break into and occupy a vacant property belonging to an out-of-town development group. When authorities attempted to evict them, all hell broke loose. The rent-a-mob protesters hit the streets and there was major media coverage, mostly in favor of letting the squatters remain. Even Oakland's mayor and members of the city council sided with them. After a few months, the sheriff finally removed the women amid the usual cries of brutality and racism. The development group finally caved to the activist's demands and wound up paying for the removal and storage of all the squatter's stuff and agreed to provide them with temporary shelter.
I would expect the same thing to happen with this plan too, only on a much larger scale.

My fear exactly. Squatter's law in full swing and with the left nut jobs fanning the flames, a lot of good people are going get hurt by this but no one seems to care. The other issue is containment. Sick with deadly virus, they will go out looking for drugs or whatnot, so how and who's going to keep then in the "Camp". Cops wouldn't do a thing.
I just found this. I bet the owner will bank big bucks on this deal.
