This is nothing. Probably not even related to foreclosures, as you said.. probably just people who lost their construction jobs. But, wait a year. Tent cities in every major metro.... why, back in 1982, families were even living in national parks! My wife doubted the veracity of this... so I talked to an older Ranger in Oregon last summer.. he smiled, shook his head and said, "We had scores of families living all up and down the Clackamas river..." In Phoenix during the late 30s, my mother remembers a large camp of homeless 'Oakies' out by 15th avenue and I think Buckeye. I wonder what we'll call homeless housing HELOC refugees? Now that sort of thing may actually signal a real 'economic bottom'. Bah. This is nothing.
