American Media, how I hate thee (economic, increase, interview)

[Wild Style]

Okay,

This isn't a tin foil hatter's "the media is creating the economic downturn" non sense rant. I am talking about a issue European media reported on in America MONTHS ago, and American media ignorned. It is the phenomenon of tent cities popping up in America.

The first time I heard about it was
here.

Well the other day American media FINALLY decided to pick up on this story. even if its just a handful of tent cities, this is ridiculous that people are going through this. This does happen all over the world BUT, that doesn't concern me as much. Seeing as how I live in America and my first concern is to the welfare of this nation. Anyway, read on link

I heard about this as well. My current locale is one of the cities listed! I read somwehere (can't recall) that many of these folks are immigrants. (?)

look at the first link I posted from the BBC news. Those are Americans

I also heard a report on NPR a few weeks back. They interviewed some school principles, superintendents etc. Said the level of homelessness amongst students has sharply increased as well. So this isn't a issue of immigrants, at least not from what I am seeing.
