epa04990681 YEARENDER 2015 FEATURE PACKAGES..(08/20) A view of the North side of the Tower of David in Caracas, Venezuela, 20 March 2015. David Tower was occupied by the poor of Caracas in 2007, housing over 1,200 families until the end of 2014. The building, a skyscraper of 45 floors without elevators, handrails or windows, does not match its reputation of a crime and delinquency environment space that many people in Caracas believe it to be. On the contrary the tower is now a quiet building inhabited by about a thousand people (300 families) coexisting under an organized regime. The squatters of the building, which currently only occupy makeshift apartments up to the 13th floor, pay 250 bolivars (1 euro) per month to a cooperative and thus are entitled to piped water, electricity, cleaning the common spaces and even security.
