Ummm… maybe “Squatting” isn’t the right word here? It originates from the idea that there can be private land/ property, which is a relatively recent concept. Till the time of the Enclosure movement in the 1700s all unoccupied land and buildings were viewed as common property. The Buddha we know from the Suttas was a highly ethical person who would never dream of encroaching on the rights of others!
