Hier ein weiterer Bericht , diesmal der BBC über Zeltstädte, welche überall in den USA entstehen. Im letzten Monat sind alleine 60'000 Häuser zwangsversteigert worden und die Bewohner haben ihr Heim verloren. Ohne ein Dach über den Kopf, sind jetzt viele gezwungen in Zelte und Wohnwagen zu leben, wie hier in Los Angeles.
ONTARIO, Calif. -- Each day at an Ontario homeless encampment, hundreds of people line up for meals or whatever food local churches and volunteers may bring, KNBC's Mary Parks reported.
"They're in a survival mode," said volunteer Paul Varner. "All they can think about is the safety and out of the weather."
During the last six months, more than 400 homeless people have pitched tents near Ontario Airport, creating a "tent city" that sprawls across vacant lots and side streets.
By Monday, anyone who can't verify they are locals will be bused to the cities they came from, Parks reported.
Tent city resident Akimi Onyemes said his official residence is Riverside.
"You're busy all day, dealing with dirt, trash, going to fetch water," Onyemes said.
Of the 400 people, about 140 have been documented as locals.
