It is a broken windows issue!!!!

If one person walks by an abandoned building and breaks a window and no one fixes it then that same person and/or other people will think its o.k. to break the rest of the windows and will. This guys first day on the land he is on was the first broken window. Every day since is just another broken window.

My suggestion, having dealt with this numerous times over the years, is take all his stuff and throw it away, that is of course after he is told to scram if you care to be that polite. He certainly doesn't own the land he is squatting on (literally), so tossing his butt off shouldn't be an issue. He is pooping, peeing, and doing whatever there. It is not sanitary, and even more important it affects the overall quality of life for everyone in the area. "Quality of life" issues are valid complaints to the authorities.

I did my grad degree work on this entire issue.
