I was bummed to see Oregon @ #2 behind Michigan-- and that does not even include those frm GI Joes or Joes- whatever they were calling it & Gottschalks..... those stores are busy with bankruptcy liquidation sales, & winding down to unemployment.

Someone suggested they use those buildings are shelters... Circuit City, Joes- all these places going under-- huge buildings with lots of square footage can be made into temporary housing & support centers....

one common kitchen & restroom area, and sections for individual quarters..... I though that was actually a great idea-- certainly better than tenting.... which is not practical year round because of rain & winter freezing temps.

Hell - even if it is nice weather.... forced tenting sucks. People need restrooms, showers, a roof over their heads.
