I saw a feature on BBC News re a tent city emerging in LA as a result of people selling their homes to clear debt. They interviewed one man who showed his old house but said he had no other choice. Do you have any more details or pix about this? They are all white Americans.

No pix but, here is news article

2. Yes

Thanks for this. BBC did say LA but I see the site is just west of L.A./Ontario International Airport. How do these people cope?

WTF is going on in the US?
