Wonderful, Mark!
I'm always looking for info about housing struggles elsewher for my tenants' association bulletin, and I'll definitely read these things over and condense them in a short article (in French, of course). Years ago I met the DAL (Droit au logement) squat in southeaster Paris - mostly families from West African countries (and some from the Maghreb). I did an interview with a Palestine activist here about Jewish Israeli encroachment on housing in Jerusalem East, and more recently, an interview with a friend in Santiago Chile about people (mostly families) taking over an unused building there - Santiago has also fallen prey to gentrification, complicating the lives of working-class people.
Another member did stories about tenants' rights in New Brunswick and in BC...
