McClatchy has an update about the Relocated tent city folks...and how they are coping. I have been trying to find updates since earlier in the spring when Mayor Johnson said that the Sacramento Tent City was to be shut down, or atleast they planned to stop new residents from coming. The shelters in that city are still turning away folks, so where they are going is a huge question....but atleast one mayor is trying to confront the challenges that the increasing rate of homelessness brings with this economic situation....click the title for the article.

If there was ever a time for eminent domain to be enforced it is now. The municipalities must cause the banks holding hundreds of foreclosed properties to open them to the homeless. The utilities must be proscribed to source water, electric and gas for those homes. Rents to be based on ability to pay.
They have made profit from the backs of these people for long enough, now it is time for corporate America to bit the damn bullet and give back.
Walking man....
you are absolutely right....on every count....
