>Selling the squatters' kidneys and other body parts at auction would create a lot more wealth than do the squatters.> Funny how you never suggest this solution about crimes white collar in nature or too sophisticated that people do not even realize that they have been looted. -Arun

Why would a bottle of gin be any different than a bottle of carrot juice, or a salad? It's calories, it's nutrients. Would you feel any different about a bottle of fine French wine? How about a Beethoven symphony or a Bach cantata? And of course babies have economic value. As for squatters, they don't pay rent, it's true, but they do pay pretty much everything else that a renter would pay. Food first, followed by gas and electric. Keeping the utilities on is good for the building, nothing so bad for a building as no heat in winter. Squatters did not make the original tenants leave. They just glean what is left in the field. It is holy/sacred/honorable to allow the gleaners to take what is left in the field. Do some of them destroy? I have little doubt that this is true, but it is not inevitable.
