Tent Cities Full Of Homeless People Are Booming In Cities All Over America As Poverty Spikes
By Michael Snyder, on September 11th, 2016
Just
like during the last economic crisis, homeless encampments are popping
up all over the nation as poverty grows at a very alarming rate.
According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, more than
half a million people are homeless in America right now, but that figure
is increasing by the day. And it isn’t just adults that we are talking
about. It has been reported that that the number of homeless children
in this country has risen
by 60 percent since the last recession, and
Poverty USA
says that a total of 1.6 million children slept either in a homeless
shelter or in some other form of emergency housing at some point last
year. Yes, the stock market may have been experiencing a temporary boom
for the last couple of years, but for those on the low end of the
economic scale things have just continued to deteriorate.
Tonight, countless numbers of homeless people will try to make it
through another chilly night in large tent cities that have been
established in the heart of major cities such as Seattle, Washington,
D.C. and St. Louis. Homelessness has gotten so bad in California that
the L.A. City Council has formally asked Governor Jerry Brown
to officially declare a state of emergency. And in Portland the city has extended their “homeless emergency”
for yet another year, and city officials are really struggling with how to deal
with the booming tent cities that have sprung up…
There have always been homeless people in Portland, but last summer Michelle Cardinal noticed a change outside her office doors.
Almost overnight, it seemed, tents popped up in the
park that runs like a green carpet past the offices of her national
advertising business. She saw assaults, drug deals and prostitution.
Every morning, she said, she cleaned human feces off the doorstep and
picked up used needles.
“It started in June and by July it was full-blown. The
park was mobbed,” she said. “We’ve got a problem here and the question
is how we’re going to deal with it.”
But of course it isn’t just Portland that is experiencing this. The
following list of major tent cities that have become so well-known and
established that they have been given names
comes from Wikipedia…

Most of the time, those that establish tent cities do not want to be
discovered because local authorities have a nasty habit of shutting them
down and forcing homeless people out of the area. For example, check
out what just happened
in Elkhart, Indiana…
A group of homeless people in Elkhart has been asked to
leave the place they call home. For the last time, residents of ‘Tent
City’ packed up camp.
City officials gave residents just over a month to vacate the wooded area; Wednesday being the last day to do so.
The property has been on Mayor Tim Neese’s radar since he took office
in January, calling it both a safety and health hazard to its residents
and nearby pedestrian traffic.
“This has been their home but you can’t live on public property,” said Mayor Tim Neese, Elkhart.
If they can’t live on “public property”, where are they supposed to go?
They certainly can’t live on somebody’s “private property”.
This is the problem – people don’t want to deal with the human feces,
the needles, the crime and the other problems that homeless people
often bring with them. So the instinct is often to kick them out and
send them away.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t fix the problem. It just passes it on to someone else.
As this new economic downturn
continues to accelerate,
our homelessness boom is going to spiral out of control. Pretty soon,
there will be tent cities in virtually every community in America.
In fact, there are people that are living comfortable middle class
lifestyles right at this moment that will end up in tents. We saw this
during the last economic crisis, and it will be even worse as this next
one unfolds.
Just like last time around, the signs that the middle class is really
struggling can be subtle at first, but when you learn to take note of
them you will notice that they are all around you. The following comes
from an excellent article
in the New York Post…
Do you see grocery stores closing? Do you see other
retailers, like clothing stores and department stores, going out of
business?
Are there shuttered storefronts along your Main Street shopping
district, where you bought a tool from the hardware store or dropped off
your dry cleaning or bought fruits and vegetables?
Are you making as much money annually as you did 10 years ago?
Do you see homes in neighborhoods becoming run down as the residents
either were foreclosed upon, or the owner lost his or her job so he or
she can’t afford to cut the grass or paint the house?
Did that same house where the Joneses once lived now become a rental property, where new people come to live every few months?
Do you know one or two people who are looking for work? Maybe professionals, who you thought were safe in their jobs?
Don’t look down on those that are living in tents, because the truth
is that many “middle class Americans” will ultimately end up joining
them.
The correct response to those that are hurting is love and
compassion. We all need help at some point in our lives, and I know
that I am certainly grateful to those that have given me a helping hand
at various points along my journey.
Sadly, hearts are growing cold all over the nation, and the weather
is only going to get colder over the months ahead. Let us pray for
health and safety for the hundreds of thousands of Americans that will
be sleeping in tents and on the streets this winter.
Do you think this is one of those websites that carries the newly coined Fake News?
Regarding Fake NEWS!!!!??
Do any of you possibly remember the Fake News carried by the New York Times in August 2, 1964 regarding:
two little imaginary gun boats of North Vietnam that attacked destroyers of the US NAVY?
Well?
I sure do!!
And I can very well F_ckin remember that like yesterday, because that FAKE NEWS story by the filthy NYTs led very directly to the deaths of over 57,000 young Americans, the wounding of over 350,000 young Americans, the murder (Death by War) of over 5 1/2 million young Vietnamese on both sides; all of whom were better than any of the pinko, sodomite, lesbians that are demonstrating in the streets of America today!!
