| There's this excerpt from the LA TimesCiting health and safety concerns, the city of Ontario next week will dramatically reduce the size of a homeless encampment known as Tent City by expelling those residents who cannot prove clear ties to the city.Starting Monday, anyone who can’t provide documents showing they once lived in Ontario will be given a bus or taxi ride back to where they came from. The homeless will be fitted with color-coded bands around their arms or wrists that will designate their status.“In July we established the region’s first homeless service area and since then it has swelled tenfold, attracting over 400 people from as far away as Florida,” said Brent Schultz, director of housing and neighborhood revitalization for Ontario. “There are real health and safety concerns out there and we want to regulate this better.”Tent City sprawls across a half dozen vacant lots in a residential neighborhood near Ontario International Airport. It was set up to lure the homeless away from bridges and overpasses and get them into a central location where they could live largely unmolested. Water, toilets and tents were provided and various charities serve food each day.But what had been intended as a place for Ontario’s estimated 140 homeless quickly became a magnet for the entire region’s homeless. and this from the movie "Barcelona"Let me use an analogy.The US is like an enormous ant farm. God, not ants! A see-through plastic caseenclosing an ant colony. It's a toy sold to children so they canwatch ants build their own society. The US is like an ant farmfor the rest of the world. But, people living in other countriescan't observe the ants. They must rely on journalistsand commentators for a description. The problem is,that these people seem to hate ants. |
