tent cities on the rise

I've really been bringing the bummer lately. But this stuff needs to be in the open.

But now, even the upscale community of Santa Barbara, California has found itself with people sleeping in cars while nearby Fresno is trying to manage not only tent cities, but a new encampment where people are constructing shelters out of scrap wood.

I guess it could be worse. There are refugee camps elsewhere in the world that get randomly attacked by helicopter gunships. It still makes me angry that these rich fucks screwed up the economy, got multimillion dollar severance packages, then the hole they ate out of the economy gets filled in not by their ill gotten gains, but with the tax money these poor homeless victims paid. They're getting fucked twice. And nobody is holding the people who created this mess accountable.
