Did you mean this article?
It was the only one I found on the subject.

I must be living under a rock then because I have been to Chicago a couple of times in the past year and have never seen any tent cities. Seen some huge tent sales though, I was thinking of buying a new truck at one of them. |

I know! I saw you had edited it but am glad you left it the way you orignally wrote it. I actually thought it was funnier when you began to edit it because you didn't realize the joke right away . . . I know it wouldn't have been as funny to someone who came on later and didn't see the original, but I really couldn't stop laughing. |

Yea, yea. Lets blame everyone except the fool. No wonder people refuse to accept responsibility for their actions, now. It's always someone else's fault. Hell, thats even being taught to children these days.

I would like to help you out, again, Dom, because your comprehension level during the holidays is zero--too much egg nog?
The city reference doesn't mean that there is an entire city built of tents, however, there are entire blocks of homes in Cleveland and California where 60 to 70 percent of the homes are boarded up...
Tent cities in surburbs is the cost of this home crisis...
George W. Bush rolled out a plan to slow forclosures by freezing the interest rates on some loans... But for many, it was too little too late...
In Ontario, California, one "tent city" went from 20 to 200 in a matter of weeks... |
