I am having a hard time believing this is true. On second thought it is California.
There are homeless people everywhere. The police have found that the motors don’t start on their vehicles ... they are professional homeless.
It’s Bush’s fault!
A lot of folks in LA were living close to the edge. Tent cities is what you get when a bunch of them go over the edge...
Women and minorities hardest hit.
3 minutes and we have a Bush Fault. I know it was sacasim but geez 3 minutes, LOL.
Where is this?
Lazy bums have been around for as long as people. In the early 1900’s, they were called “Hobo’s”. I still call them leaches.
Somewhere outside LA. I don’t know the city maybe its called Tent City, CA :)
I’m single. I could sell my house, buy a cheap motorhome, park it there and save maybe $3,500/month and probably retire in about 10 years with the savings.
I’ve noticed an increase in the size and quantity of the homeless camps along the CalTrain tracks in San Jose. The inhabitants, when visible, don’t appear to be recentlty displaced former homeowners, however.
People with the wrong skill sets caught by tough times.
I blame Global Warming.
There used to be mini-tent cities in Downtown LA when I was growing up there in the 80s/90s. They moved most of them on, but I understand they’re back.
It started on this thread so I will keep it here. :)
Reservations are now being accepted for Bear Stearns employees.
It seems like anyone who is forced to live in a tent after losing his home must have been living on the edge for a long time, maxing out their credit cards to pay the electric bill and buy groceries, etc. But it’s like with the homeless people in San Francisco—Who is forcing them to stay in California? Before I’d let my family live in a tent, I would hitchhike to South Dakota and rent a cheap apartment, start over and try to give my family some semblance of a normal home.
Sarcasm? You're joking.
With California tough regulations I am surprised they lasted one week.
