Sad thing is, these People have jobs, just not enough money for rent ?

[mickofthenorth]

some have jobs, some like the life style, some are terribly challenged, some are rebounding from whatever brought them to the streets.

they should be showing this on the media, of course we're in the dark about reality to keep moral up.

[mickofthenorth]

Some say the intent is to keep them out of view so it doesnt upset anyone too much.

@mzmitch88, just like the movie call the BEACH.

[ecargnna]

well they can raise animals, grow food while waiting for the job. KUDOS to the people who helped technically, not just blabbing

@RedClownKnight : Kids are not allowed because the STATE won't let them!! If someone becomes pregnant, and are homeless, they are moved into a DCF home where BOTH parents can stay and the mother and father are drug tested on a regular basis. Again, some people can't help it. If you don't apply for jobs and do what you are suppose to, you get kicked out! It's not a free ride!!

I lived in THIS tent city for over 6 months!! There are 6 total! They relocate every 3 months to a different church or location. Some like it there, and don't try to work, but like my husband and I, we had no choice! You don't get a free ride while you are there! Everyone has to do security at least 3 times a week, keep a log of where you applied for work, and the tents are checked reqularly to make sure you don't do anything stupid. If you don't do it, you get kicked out!!

@SamDeRe81 Actually a good majority of them are actually under employed, meaning they have not been able to find a full time job. Some have also been forced out of their low rent apartments which were converted to condos.

These tent cities seem to pop up wherever housing is way overpriced. I wonderif there are any of there in NYC or Washington DC.

[DaHotFoots]

absolutely, that leper tribe has gravy-trained the "hollow-cause;" and has used the niggers as both their merchant-shop watchdogs and their pseudo-kin, homo-thug subordinates in entertainment, sports and media; a total fucking disaster to America, and to humanity.

I would kill to have front row seats for the end to this ugly bitch of a planet.
