It's easier then to lie about the numbers of them & pretend it doesn't exist that way.

The owners don't need for it to become a real problem if they have to hear about homelessness & lack of medical care to the poor by average working Americans.
Deny,deny,deny & carry on.
The lower class and homeless class will be swelled to the extreme, this year and beyond, but the wealthy will continue to demand and receive, billions in bonuses and tax breaks.

That seems to be how things are looking. It will not be in the least surprising when someone says lets just take this 20 block section where nobody who isn't homeless wants to go anyway and make it a district. Nice phrases will be used but the upshot is that if you find people who are homeless you can just move them in. If they don't want to too bad. Nobody is going to call it a homeless ghetto but that is what it is going to be.

We're working on building a whole new underclass of poverty which will bite back in time. The people who thought it was a great idea and liked it even better because "those people" aren't hanging around the streets will have either died, gotten lucky and made it in a sliver of a middle class or joined "those people" by then.

It's happening all over our country right under the noses of those who continue to bash the unemployed.
Simply unbelievable and incredibly sad.

The New American Dream: Sprawling Tent Cities Filled With Tents Made In China
America is entirely capable of taking care of itself and being independent and self subsistant. What is required is a cultural change where people produce more meaningful things than selling pointless items in big box stores, working in the insurance beauracracy of the private sector, as well as many other sectors of the economy.

All thats required is a bit of common sense, and abandonment of the pervasive greed in the country.

Yeah - let's just rid ourselves of the 'pervasive greed in the country'. That day WILL come with the return of Christ, but never before then.

I have seen tent cities in the the woods full of the homeless. Camping areas are full of every and anything one might consider a trailer or RV. I have met homeless that drive from rest stop to rest stop on the interstates. I have met a trucker family who lived out of their big rig. Statistics say that 50% of America's homeless are veterans. Remote Access Medical providers free medical care for those who have little or nothing and cannot begin to accommodate those needing their services. I never thought I would see anything like this in America and I believe this to be America's greatest shame.

I have met homeless who came into to town to buy ammo to hunt their food. If the current trend continues I believe that these same people will quit hunting rabbits and squirrels and go after those responsible for the demise of this country.

Why don't homeless vets re-enlist if they can't make it in the 'real world'?
Is homelessness the lesser of 2 evils for them?
