Any solutions for growing number of squatters?

Squaters are really a menace in our country. But it seems the government cannot iradicate them because of poverty. As if they are a part of our society. If poverty is solved, squaters might be reduced to a number which is negligible. However, with the situation of the country, they will always be there.

We have that problem here in the US as well. I think calling the police would solve the problem. Have a wonderful day!

most of the squatters came from the province trying their luck in the city...the only solution to lessen the growing number of squatters is to develop provinces and make them more income generating regions and give work for the locals of the province...that way they will not go to the city just to get a job and earn a decent living...dont relocate them too much spoiling them will not solve the problem...because they will just accept the relocation and then sell it and go back to the city to squat again...

i can't see any clear solution for illegal settlers other than providing them better livelihood and more jobs, as in regular and stable money earning jobs in the provinces. if the government could not provide them better living conditions in the provinces, people will always come to the city to seek chance for jobs.

Squatting is an off shoot of over population, poverty and lack of discipline. It also mirrors the imbalance of earning opportunities in the provinces so people flock to big cities. It also show cases the lack of political will of leaders and authorities to stop them even before the sprout and mushroom , in fact some government officials tolerate and pamper them because these are where the large but mostly ignorant and uneducated votes come from, so they steer it to their favor in order to stay in power, very sad fact in our country but very true

The only way to control the growth of the squatter colonies in the city is for the government to stop tolerating them in building their shanties in government and private properties. However with the moratorium issued by the DILG to put a temporary stop to the demolitions scheduled, they are encouraging the squatters. Why is human rights so biased between the poor and the rich, the squatters and the police? Are only the poor deserving of what we call as human rights? What if you are the property owner and you get deprived of your property because some squatters decided to build houses on your land, don't you have any human rights then? If the police get hurt in a rumble, don't they get the same human rights if the culprit is poor? Why then do we have to pay rent when we can just build a shanty in any vacant lot? Many people are also poor but they pay rent. Have you not noticed that these squatters being coddled by the government for being poor are not actually poor? They have jobs, they can build concrete houses, they have complete appliances in the squatters area. Being a squatter certainly has its benefits, don't you think so?

Ther eis no singel way to imrpove tehse conditions. There are manyf actors and sometimes, it's all complicated. But I think we can blame it on palying teh 'vicitm card', the stubborness of some people and the poltiics involved. In my personal opinion, squatters also play the 'victim card'. they are poor and they don't have much, so why society or the police picking up on the? Why is the rich are the ones favored? They have human rights also but majority of the times they reject what is offered to them because it is an inconvenience to them. What about otehr people who are inconvenient by them? I get that they don't have much but it doesn't mean that they can bend the law for their purposes. they know what they are doing is wrong...so why d o it? They know the consequences and yet they are the eons who very brave in breaking the law...oITP. Another main thing is the politics. local candidates are very dependent on their votes so they turn a blind eye to what they are doing. When they can't do anything more and the demolition is already there, they won;t take sides. Typical politico to use people and hide when the favor has been granted. i tihnk that is no single solution - there should be many solutions but it all boils down to people. If thy can't accept reality, there's no point i giving them their demands.

I think the government should focus more on bringing more investors to the provinces so that people in the provinces would have more opportunities for livelihood and don't flock to the big cities.
