The road most traveled: Most of the settlements Marcin photographed were by waterways, railway tracks, Walmarts, gas stations and liquor stores. (Daily Mail)
As America suffers through its worse recovery on record, a homeless camp has cropped up on the outskirts of Baltimore.
Daily Mail reported:
A sheet of plastic laid over a clothesline. A mini-fortress of milk crates stacked under a tree. A thin mattress on a flimsy crate lying in a dark tunnel.
On the edge of Baltimore’s woodlands, dozens of the city’s transients live in makeshift homes which they consider safer than homeless shelters.
Photographer Ben Marcin has captured some of the shanties in his thought-provoking photo essay, ‘The Camps’, documenting the struggle, loneliness and ingenuity of Maryland’s people of the woods.
Similar to his Last House Standing series which captured lonely rowhouses around the Mid-Atlantic, Marcin shot the shanties around Baltimore without their inhabitants to add to the ‘mystery’.
Marcin said he first stumbled upon the homeless dwellings as he hiked through the woods bordering the city during hunting season.
Obama is turning America into subhuman mongrels.
What was it during the depression, Hooverville? Well, now it is Obamaville.
hobo camps have returned to America, Obama’s America is like the 2930’s So who is surprised? Must admit not I,
but I’m a little sad
Mongrel president creates more mongrels.
Yup, called Muslims.
Just as Obamacare reduces “job lock” and allows people to follow their dreams to become painters, his economic plans are now reducing “house lock” and allowing people to follow their dreams of becoming urban winter campers.
It is heartbreaking for the first time in our history to see an America where there are homeless people in America who prior to 2009 and Obama were leading productive and prosperous lives.
Its called “MARXISM” boys and girls. “MARXISM”. and the great uninformed freely voted themselves to be ruled by its philosophy. Not a shot fired. Only the promise of the ever popular political “Free Lunch” was needed and the greatest political experiment of the past 4000 years has been damned.
Bread and circuses replaced by cell phones and food stamps.
These policies were put in place by the Reagan/Bush administration < /S >
Serfdomville.
Even the “Precedent” of the Unites States can’t escape the gravity of the situation. Expect more of the same until it becomes impossible...for them.
First of all, don’t believe your lying eyes.
Second, these people could get a job if they wanted to.
Third, this is a set up by conservatives to make Obama look bad.
Fourth, what homeless camp?
/s
This is exactly correct.
I wonder how many Freepers are consistent letter-writers to their elected representatives (???).
We have lived long-term inside two communist countries, and we know that we are listening to Marxism itself every time we hear Obama make a policy speech.
This article is clearly a work of fiction. There is no such thing as homeless people under obama. Recall, bill clinton eliminated homelessness with his electoral victory back in november 92. Case closed. /s
I really can’t recall the 2930’s...
The 2930’s are all Bush’s fault.
That’s all you need to know.
