Squatters who live in an unoccupied property should be forced to leave it or not
It is known that nowadays there are a lot of unoccupied and desolated buildings in Spain because of the property crisis. They can be located in both, the city center and the outskirts and they can go from small blocks of flats to bigger ones or even a complete office building. They usually have the “for sale” advertisement although the problem is that there is no market for them, in fact, barely, people phone not even to show interest on them. So, the only option seems to be to wait until the situation improves. However, it is the best moment for squatters who take advantage of this situation and occupy these properties. The law is clear about it in Spain. In the own Supreme Court words, entering in a private property without the owner permission is an usurpation crime. But, should they be forced to leave it or not? From my point of view, I strongly believe that they should.
To start with, obviously, I believe that everybody should have the right to decent housing. However, this right has some limits that can not be exceeded. So, my right to decent housing can not allow me to come into a house violently to make real my wish, even though the house is unoccupied.
In addition to this, I totally agree that once the squatters have occupied a property they should be forced to leave it but the violence to get the eviction will not be allowed in any case, in spite of the unfair the situation can seem to us.
On the other hand, people without houses, living in a car, in a storage room, under a bridge or even in their relative’s houses drives my up the wall, especially, the working people who after getting the sack because of the crisis, were not able to pay the mortgage and finally they were seizure by the bank.
To sum up, currently we are living a dramatic situation with a lot of unoccupied houses and a lot of people without houses. What squatters are doing is clearly an usurpation crime and I strongly believe that they should be forced to leave the propriety. However, it seems to me that politicians have to look after our rights and governments should make social policies in order to solve this situation.

Should squatters who live in an unoccupied property should be forced to leave it or not
It is known that nowadays, there are a lot of unoccupied and desolated abandoned buildings in Spain because of the property crisis. They can be located in both, the city center and the outskirts, and they can go from small blocks of flats to bigger ones or even a complete office building. They usually have the a “for sale” advertisement {more appropriate: "for sale" sign} although the problem is that there is no market for them. In fact, barely, people hardly ever phone not even to show interest in them. So, the only option seems to be to wait until the situation improves. However, it is also the best moment for squatters who take advantage of this situation and occupy these properties. The law is clear (about it)* in Spain. In the own Supreme Court's own words, entering in a private property without the owner permission is an usurpation** crime. But, should they be forced to leave it or not?

*It reads clearer without.
**Pronounced like "you-sir-pay-shen", so no vowel sound on the "u".

On the other hand, people without houses, living in a car, in a storage room, under a bridge or even in their relative’s houses drives my me up the wall,*** especially, the working people who after getting the had gotten sacked because of the crisis, were not able to pay the mortgage, and finally had their homes they were seizure seized by the bank. ****
To sum up, we are currently we are living a dramatic in an uncertain {or "difficult"} situation with a lot of unoccupied houses and a lot of people without houses. What squatters are doing is clearly an usurpation crime and I strongly believe that they should be forced to leave the propriety. However, it seems to me that politicians also***** have to look after our rights and governments should make social policies in order to solve this situation.
***The idiomatic expression "(something) drives me up the wall" is too familiar a register, and not really suited for the tone of this essay.
****Pay attention to the subject agreement in this sentence. The subject is people. So "they" refers to people, not their property (the people were not seized by the bank).
*****"However" triggers an expansion or negation of idea, so it's necessary to reference/acknowledge the idea, in this case, by using "also."
