What percentage are mentally ill? I mean, this is CA after all...

This is a significant indicator.
Historically, these stories begin to show up at the beginning of a Republican presidential term.
And apparently journalistic "ethics" causes such stories to disappear during Democratic ones.

Ask any medical personnel in Sac who treats these people when they come in. They are offered shelters but they are receiving SSI and DO NOT want to go to a shelter where they'd have to NOT drink and dope up. All their friends are in the homeless camps and they have the freedom to be as degenerate as they want. The shelters have rules and regulations on behavior, which is such a bummer, man.
I'm sure Doprah's show mentioned this when she did her pity show on the Sacramento homeless. NOT.

There’s a history of successful tent cities in the US.
As a temporary measure, it’s more efficient than expensive “subsidized housing” programs (like SRO hotels, FEMA trailers and Section 8, which have respectively required building permits and maintenance of multi-person occupancy infrastructures, or purchases of slapdash RV’s contaminated with formaldehyde, or handouts with insufficient bureaucratic oversight).
Tent cities have worked in the Civil War, they worked in 1906 (after the SF earthquake), and they work for Arizona’s Sheriff Joe now, too.

The Yahoo ads for tents and campgrounds under the pictures add just the right touch of irony.

I don’t see anywhere about HOW MANY of the tents are up... If there were 5 tents and someone put up the 6th... well, that isn’t signification...

Any sane person has already left Cali. And the libs who still work in the private sector are in hot pursuit.

The tent city in Rockaway was much more organized.

Everything old is new again. A "Hooverville" from the last Depression:
Dare we call these new ones "Obamavilles"?
One has to wonder at the sanitation problem. How soon before cholera breaks out?
