The lawsuit mentioned at the end of the text scrolling at the start of this video was won in favour of this Tent City according to the following 3-minute video report.
v=gKfpbErHiH8
The NJ state superior court judge who presided over this lawsuit ruled that it's against the law to expulse the Tent City residents without providing alternative and adequate housing, to ensure that they have adequate shelter. And it's downright welcome to learn that there're still some sane judges around.
@mikecorbeil Thank you, Mike, for this great news! Yes, indeed, it is quite hopeful, and truly heart-warming to learn that there are still some fine, and decent jurists in the American court system. God be praised!
@theejimmy1989 Excellent. And your way is a true way of learning about what true Christian faith and living is supposed to be about. It's not about being brainwashed, but, rather, learning thru experience and learning from real-world experiences of others. There's a lot in this world to cause us to hate religion, but the true essence is found in real conduct. We have that with Lakewood.

This camp evidently is well organized, but I wonder about lyme disease-carrying ticks and would be more concerned about heavy winters; recalling, fe, when 4 feet of snow fell in Maryland and NY several years ago while 8ft or more fell in the Appalachians. There's probably a way to get around the ticks, but 4ft snow falls? For those extreme winter cases, maybe the tents should be made higher up. It'ld require additional materials, from Nature or donated, but .... Higher up and snowshoes.
@pkradgreek Feel sad & fortunate, but also remember appreciation for the great solidarity that we see with videos like this. It's essential and these folks live it every day, with excellent morals. If all of the USA was like this, then it'ld then be a great society; as long as it fully included the Aboriginals, ie, American Indians; for no sane solidarity can be unjust.
