During the Depression, tent and tar-paper shack camps of homeless people?

Question

grew up outside many cities. Most were called "Hooverville" or "Hoover City" due to Herbert Hoover's mistaken economic theories.

As they say, history repeats itself.

Two weeks ago there was a police raid on a large homeless camp here in Calif., and residents had put up a sign calling it "Bush City".

Are the homeless in your area doing that yet?

Answer 1

sh*t,there's been alot of homeless people around the corners in the busy intersection lately,i mean alot,like even in the ritzy neighborhoods,i haven't been to downtown since sat.,so i don't know what the hobos are doin down there,their probably doing some crazy sh*t for attention though,like always.

your right,history does always repeat itself

Answer 2

Hi. Have you ever been homeless? I have. You do what is necessary to survive such as living in a car for a year (as I did). Calling attention to your problem is natural. ( I did it by choice. Not many others do.)
