"Occupied" has a static property: people sit and hold the place. "Taken over" has a dynamic property, just like "opanowac." The place is taken over, which means that the undesirable elements live there and may have displaced former inhabitants. I do not think the motley crew is organized to do anything in concert.

Economic Association made remarks about parks and other state lands that have been taken over by “undesirable elements,” the “vicious maintenance costs” of vandalism,

Another interesting place to have a lean and a cravinho is at the hole-in-the-wall .... music, reggae mostly, several nights a week, and then was taken over by undesirable elements.

Part of the solution is asking businesses to partner with state government to improve parks and other state lands that have been taken over by “undesirable elements … and drain our economy due to the vicious maintenance costs (caused by vandalism).”
