That's clearly a problem and takes some HUGE cajones to even attempt. Wouldn't the police remove the people?

I'm all turned around now because I thought that's what the article was referring to.

I know people don't live their lives the way I do. My problem is that these people are effectively squatting which affects the bank which in turn affects rates/eligibility for everyone else.

Anyway, with foreclosures continuing to be a veritable epidemic, why are banks being stupid? Wouldn't it be better to rent the home back to the former owners for a then-fair market rate with the understanding that the house could be sold out from under them at any point?
