Firemen and police officers that all of us pay for (and who have families and lives) have to respond to problems at this derelict property.  It would be very easy for it to catch fire or collapse with drunk/high squatters inside. The condition of the property also has a major negative effect on adjacent private property values, which is not fair to those owners.  "They" don't make the rules; we do.  If you don't like the rules, talk to your elected officials and exercise your right to vote.  Or, maybe, you lead by example and move somewhere where there is no police or fire service, and no building codes, and see whether you can get insurance on your property.  I'm guessing not.
