Here are some videos of a tent city / shanty town that has popped up in the suburbs of Southern California. I've never seen anything like this in America since the great depression. At first it seems as though many of the residents had lost their houses due to the mortgage crisis, and I am sure some had, but it seems rather that most here have just fell on hard times due to the economy in Souther California in general. The tent city has been removed by the city and no longer exists to my knowledge. We only went there a few times, as our major work is in Los Angeles with the homeless on Skid Row.

why can't they rent an appartment in a government subsidized apartment complex? one can always find a cheap place to leave. it won't be nice and it won't be in a good neighborhood but it will certainly be a better place then a tent with no water supply or electricity.

seems like "god's own country" ........ after he did what he had to do with his own property ! the one who doesn't want to hear, needs to feel it ....

The reason why i dont feel bad is because the only reason they are homeless is their own refusal to leave southern california. Most of them anyway. There are plenty of other places to go to where rent would be a fraction of what it is there and they could find a job that supports them.

I was born and raised in So. Cal. and these pictures were NOT taken anytime recently. The trees in these pictures show it to be in Jan. or Feb. maybe March.

As much as I'd like to feel bad, I can't because they probably bought a $500,000 on a 24k a year job at walmart.

Um, the MILITARY isn't for everyone.........that really is the dumbest thing I ever heard yet! Instead of always trying to turn more young men and women into "cannon fodder", why not try to create more and better jobs in this whole country. MILITARISM is nothing but the "new slavery" towards those who are desperate for an income!! Now, that's all I have to say.
