What they do often have, though, is a shortage of land that poor people who don't own any land are allowed to use. So they make use of what they can access.

Not really...

Land in the outskirts of the cities is cheap, but why should they live in the outskirts if they can build a shack by the railroad tracks, a park, federal lands, etc? In Mexico we call that kind of settlements "lost cities", they are mostly built by the railroad tracks, in the space that was left for a railroad car to turn over/wreck or to service the tracks, federal land that is not constantly in use, like service roads for hidraulic facilities, etc.

It's a bit more complex than access to land, and it has a lot to do with the poor trying to screw up the government and taking advantage of public property.

Yeah on school field trips in Austria we took the train a few times...I was known for letting a firecracker out at the platform while we were stopped through the toilet...you saw the track straight down. It would freak people out to hear a loud BAM.That was 92-95....LOL
