You have it backwards. We don't have a "government controlled media", we have a "media controlled government". The MSM routinely manipulates stories to shape public opinion. They routinely favor one politician over another or one party over another, and manipulate their stories to favor or defame one side. Heck, Obama is nothing but a media creation. Until the MSM decided that he was a "story" and made a rock star out of him, he wasn't even a serious primary candidate. Freshman senator with no executive experience and no signature legislation wouldn't otherwise been considered.
The government has been putting in place leftist policies espoused by the liberal MSM for years-don't expect to see news reports that show the results of those policies.
I always find it so hilarious how the right wing extremists ALWAYS accuse the media of being "liberal",yet we had Republican administrations for how many years in the last 4 decades,and whose sorry asses was that "liberal" media covering up for then? They sure in heck weren't
LIBERALS!
Not many that are homeowners. It takes a long time (at least in NY) to go from not paying your mortgage to losing your home. And losing your home doesn't exactly mean being homeless unless renters are homeless.
In most cases foreclosure proceedings are started within 4 months of missed payments,and also most landlords now require a credit report before they will rent to you,so if one loses their home,who is going to rent to them?
If you lose your job..... is your unemployment high enough to pay your mortgage??
But they also did a documentary on the living conditions of immigrants in UK coming from eastern Europe and involved female sex slaves .Lots of terrible things in this world .But to tell you the truth I'd rather live in a tent than homeless center in many urban areas which have also be subject of documentaries. Most in one said the problem they left was the homeless themselves as many were street thugs ; on drugs ;drunks or had mental problems.

I'm sure that's true in "some" cases,but no one knows how many percentage-wise[haven't heard of any studies done to find out],plus there are many who hate and blame the victims!

This is why I detest the government-controlled American media and pretty much ignore their government propaganda! Do you see the major news outlets covering this?
How many have died these past several years of record heat and cold?
Seattle mayor wants to allow and regulate 3 new tent cities

Don't you know, it's against the law to talk about homelessness when there is a Democrat in the White House. They'll "re-appear" again when we elect a Republican.

Rents are high enough that you can pay your mortgage by renting out a couple rooms. I know people who have done this and lived in their house for free.,
Is this a joke? I am not hardcore one party or the other - but the dems basically argue that simply asking someone to obtain a gov't issued ID in order to vote is an attack on their party.
Think about that - the dems say enough of their party is too poor to pay a $10 fee to get an ID card or travel to the local DMV to get one that 99.99% of the population seems able to do that it affects their party.
Again, just to be clear - a $10 fee, which I believe can be waived, is so cost prohibitive that it only affects one party? Let that sink in about what it means for the dem base.
For the OP, maybe you can set up an email alert when these stories run, since they don't seem to be often enough for your liking. I know off the top of my head that a story about a tent city in NJ was the most read story on WSJ.com a few months ago - but I guess you have some minimum threshold since you and your family don't see these stories reported enough. The media is controlled by one thing - what makes them money.
Tent cities have sprung up in and around at least 55 American cities - they represent the bleak reality of America's poverty crisis.
How many of those cities are gentrifying?
Gentrification contributes to displacement because burger flippers, those living on disability, and the unemployed cannot keep up with rising rents.
