The mini-Mogadishu were the large groups of Somalian refugees that ended up in Lewiston Maine.

Massachusetts has a Homeless problem (along with refugee problems), MA has this law that homeless families must be given shelter (NY has this law too)
Lots and lots of families living in Hotels and Motels all over the state.

MA has the shelter law plus one of the highest welfare-wage equivalents in the country (CATO) - homeless people are flocking to the state - it even has many liberals crying foul.

The federal government owns roughly 635-640 million acres, 28% of the 2.27 billion acres of land in the United States. Four agencies administer 609 million acres of this land: the Forest Service (USFS) in the Department of Agriculture, and the National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), all in the Department of the Interior (DOI). Most of these lands are in the West and Alaska. In addition, the Department of
Defense administers 19 million acres in military bases, training ranges, and more. Numerous other agencies administer the remaining federal acreage.
