Homeless in Tent City USA

Homelessness is on the rise across the county. With tent cities springing up in a number of cities, and being forcably closed down.
 
Over at Counter Currents there is a recent article detailing some of the actions city governments are taking against the homeless. Fencing off the tent cities, and trying to protect local businesses. Even still, unless the economy changes this is the situation people will face.

"What can we conclude from the rapid increase in homelessness across the nation? The facts are clear: there are more people, especially women and children, who are out on the streets, without a dime. At least 10-15% of homeless individuals are the new poor,or those who have recently lost their jobs and homes. We can be certain that if the economy doesn’t improve soon, there will be more of the new poor pitching their tents in shantytowns across America – maybe in your neighborhood."
