Sounds like selection bias. Or are they actually not there. If you travel in artistic circles, then yes you'd meet quite a few artist-squatters. But that doesn't mean the other kind aren't there.

Do you actually go up to and introduce yourself to the scumbags? If not, then I call hyperbole.

Note that most talk about marginal groups are based on selection bias. In the case of a squatter, the selection bias is usually towards the graffitying, punk who steals, dopes and vandalizes. The comment above was just presenting an anectode against the prevaling prejudice (which in turn are based on other anectodes).
