17. I hope that LA Occupy puts this on their list of targets.

LA vets demand housing at giant VA campus

'Los Angeles (CNN) -- The connection seems obvious: nearly 400 acres of land set aside to house veterans and thousands of veterans who need a place to call home.

But Los Angeles' estimated 8,000 homeless vets have been barred from living at the sprawling campus for decades. The West Los Angeles property -- some of the most valuable in the nation -- was donated in 1888 to "establish, construct and permanently maintain" a branch of a national home for veterans, according to the original deed.'

The Obama administration has alloted $35.5M to provide housing there again and made a commitment to end veteran homelessness by 2015. but the veteran made famous in the film 'Born On the Fourh of July' is wanting more to be done now:

'Kovic is calling for an occupation protest of the West LA property, not unlike the current Occupy Wall Street movement.'

Rest of the story is at this link. And this is going on across the US as the 1% is stealing the commons. I saw another story of a veteran sleeping outside the place, literally on the gournd at the locked gates, while it was alleged there were meetings being held inside the gates for big corporations. It's not new, but misappropriation of land is central to Occupy:
