That's odd.

No reply...I wonder why nobody can tell me where I can go to see a "tent city"?

Hmmm...

Odd.

As I said.

Tokie

I believe that several people have already posted the locations.
If you go, bring a camera and take some pictures for us.
I'm kind of curious.

__________________

I haven't seen the locations. I need one fairly near me. Since they are "everywhere" I wonder if I could get a list of all of them, so I can find a few near me?

According to the OP, half the population of the country is living in these things. I drive a lot around my area, through most of the major cities and towns in the eastern half of my state (I live in one of the big ones out west) and I have yet to see one of these refugee camps.

Tokie

Jeezzz...no link--LIIIINNKKKKKK!!!--to a Googlemaps or some such of the tent cities?

I wonder if the n00b OP bothered doing that to see if we could get one a them nifty spy satellite looks at the refugee camp in the article?

No?

Hmm...why not?

Don't you live in another country? If so be glad. If my own parents were not so old , I'd be out too.

It is going to get a lot, lot worse here in the US and some people are just too dumb to see that. For many when they are starving they will look around and say how this this happen? Idiots all the evidence is right here if you have a shred of common sense.

I sold my model home sales center in 2004. Saw this mess coming. I did good! Just last week the company that bought it stopped talking to me . Seems now they want to sue me , because they say I saw this housing down turn coming and should have warned them before they bought my sales center. Yeah right good luck with that lawsuit. I am to say the least not worried. US law still runs along buyer beware , it is not my fault they are idiots who could not read the economy for a year or two in the future.

Believe me its only going to get worse and I do not believe the American people are made out of the tough stuff it will take to correct the situation. So its good bye American economic super power. Really according to the US state department its good bye American super power anyway. The state department says soon China will be the world super power .

Petey would probably agree with me , that is what the power hungry elite had in mind all along , just most voting americans are unfortunately to dumb to realize that.

Bullshit. Buyers wouldn't even say that and it is obvious from your many posts on the subject you are making this up. You never even owned the place.

Just the fact that you see America becoming a place with a lot of tent cities means you don't know shit about the economy.

And about that State Department claiming we were not going to be a superpower . . . well, you are making that up. The first time you made that claim I found where they said the opposite - you just aren't smart enough to understand what is being said. I asked before for you to give us any State Department source that says this and you failed to do so, just like you will here. Once again you have been caught making things up, Paula.

The most unpatriotic people are the ones who talk about leaving this country based on who is in power - that includes YOU, Paula.

Yeah, it should be fairly easy to show us where they are.

Americans have always been intense.

Wow...just...wow.

I cannot believe you ran a successful RE development company and are so utterly ignorant of how RE markets work.

Not sure that WV has ever had a "hot" market (I imagine that was the case in the 90s, though...seems I remember something about that)...I do know that my cousin in Altoona, PA, had been buying up "fixers" around a big med. center there and is now a wealthy man because of it....

If USA is so turrrrible, Peach, why not move? I understand they need people like you in Haiti, Uganda, Sudan, N. Korea...surely you've vacationed in some of these garden spots, yes?

What's the "evidenc," Peach? You allude to it, but cannot even identify it..I don't require a link--LIIIINNNKKKKKKK!!!!--I can look things up on my own, just send me in the right direction:

Employment? (up)
Wages? (up)
Cost of living? (down)
Energy prices? (up)
Retail sales? (up)
Wholesale pricing? (down)
Industrial orders? (up)
Real estate (up and down...anyone who knows anything about it knows how this works...apparently this precludes you).
Stock markets? (up overall)
Dollar? (down..but nowhere near as far down as in the 80s...and unless I missed the headlines, while things were tough in many segments, we saw nothing like the Great Depression).

You are just like the Y2kers, Peach. So invested right now in a collapse that no evidence to the contrary will change your mind. You've spent tens of thousands most likely, on LTSFs and white, food grade plastic buckets and alternate heat sources at "survival" conventions and what not that for you, things just HAVE to go south and go south big, or you will look to the Real World like as big a fool as a few of we, the rational, in here know you to be.

My in-laws got sucked into this TEOTWAWKI nonsense at Y2K. I am still making dog biscuits and horse treats out of these dozens and dozens of #10 (the really big ones--Peach knows about these) cans of all sorts of dried this and that that my idiot mother-in-law put she and her now disabled husband into bankruptsy buying. They felt that I was not "preparing" enough for TEOTWAWKI, and so they bought double everything...one for them, one for us...I have this crap stacked up to the ceiling in my garage. I can't even GIVE it away to food banks and homeless shelters now because most of it is known to have been packaged incorrectly and to be unfit for human consumption (I use the dried fruit, cream-of-wheat cereal and dry milk, howmsoever...I have enuff, I figure, so that I won't run out til about 2096).

This old lady, terrified of the changes she saw going on around her in society had an excuse, Peach...what's yours?

Tokie

Yeah. And I think satphotos would be cool of something like that, next to say, a modern highrise condo development.

Yet...still..no link--LIIIIIINNNKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

I wonder why that is?
