FOCUS | Tent City in Suburbs Is Cost of Home Crisis
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/122307Y.shtml
Dana Ford, reporting for Reuters, writes: "Between railroad tracks and beneath the roar of departing planes sits 'tent city,' a terminus for homeless people. It is not, as might be expected, in a blighted city center, but in the once-booming suburbia of Southern California. The noisy, dusty camp sprang up in July with 20 residents and now numbers 200 people, including several children, growing as this region east of Los Angeles has been hit by the US housing crisis."
