What's going on here? Has there always been shanty towns like this in the US?

Who are these people? Is this going on all over America?

They have been around but have been growing. They particularly took notice back in 08 during the crash which caused a spike in these tent cities.

It is a pretty common site if you live in the area. This is what happens when circumstances invariably lead to impossible cost of living rates.

I didn't think this really happened in western countries (it doesn't in Australia)...... I associate stuff like this with India. That's the only place I've ever seen it before.
