After watching the video I decided to find out a little more about the situation. After all, homelessness is not a new phenomena in the U.S., and I wanted to know if there had been a drastic increase in homelessness. I found an article about the camp in the video here:

I found some other articles about homelessness here:

About camps in Fresno, California Nov. 2006. A small legal victory for the homeless.

In September 2006 there were 10 - 12,000 homeless people living in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles.

Seattle Dec. 19, 2007. From the article:
"A city-led tour of homeless encampments Wednesday in the southwest Queen Anne greenbelt revealed a dozen sites marked by Icehouse beer cans, American flags, soggy newspapers, weathered tarps and scattered debris."

Notice the headline on this one. One might wonder what percentage 'some' is. From the article:
" As a leader of Rip Parker's Homeless Ministry, William Edwards has visited many homeless camps. And he wants the city to stop razing them. His group is one of two ministries with a pending lawsuit against the city over its ordinance that bans them from serving meals in the woods and under bridges.
"Unless the city's got another solution, a place to put them, leave the camps alone," he said. Mr. Edwards does not believe the new assistance center, which will offer 100 beds and a pavilion for up to 300 people a night, will be enough. "
Although I suspect the number of homeless people is increasing, it's difficult to to ascertain how much of an increase there's been in recent months. I can't help but wonder if homelessness will become criminalized, and these poor people will find themselves in 'detention centers' slaving away for corporate profit. It saddened me to read so many callous comments about the people in the video. It appears that lot of people have been effectively brainwashed by the pathocracy.
