crookedspire Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Been watching YouTube and came across a video about Slab City which is based in an ex Marine base in California. The land belongs to Teacher's Association but the land has been squatted on for the last fifty years with people who are homeless or just want to drop out of society their is no Sheriff's office or an Post Office nor does Slab's officially have any status. Life is hard no running water or have any power supply many have solar panels fitted on their mobile homes as many live in mobile homes or derelict caravans Slab City has a library and a church and a few make shift bars . Could you live in Slab City in the baking heat of California ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cid Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Could you live in Slab City in the baking heat of California ? Might be good if the UK had a piece of land, rent free for travelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpist Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Where would waste be deposited , how would sewage water services operate? How is a traveler designation allotted? Can I have a piece of land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Presumably if someone is murdered then the police will investigate just as they normally would. So it's not without laws in any way is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orzel Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Kowloon Walled City in Honk Kong was one of oldest and lasting longest unregulated settlements. Ran by triads, heaven for criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Presumably if someone is murdered then the police will investigate just as they normally would. So it's not without laws in any way is it. I think the term is more based on not paying tax or restricted living than criminal law. Slab' s is in reality is just one huge squat that does its own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
