Just came across this vid on youtube, it struck me for several reasons. It shows that most homeless had a life before things changed for the worse for them. It begins with a woman who had once been a beauty queen till events took their toll. Before the vid was finished being made, she had walked in front of a semi and ended it. Another thing that stands out is the ingenuity of some of the improvised living quarters. These are NOT stupid people.
Cold weather is coming soon. Let's all count our blessings. For people to have to live like this is a national disgrace.
