Here are some videos of a tent city / shanty town that has popped up in the suburbs of Southern California. I've never seen anything like this in America since the great depression.

I can't believe that I just watched this entire thing.

Does everyone think that these people are displaced homeowners?
I guess I can't blame some foreigner for not knowing that what he's just seen are migrant strawberry pickers.
Housing for migrant farmworkers has always been deplorable, but lately with the explosion in housing development gobbling up thousands of acres of farmland, especially in Southern California, migrants have found themselves living adjacent to million dollar housing developments- much to the chagrin of the homeowners.

Things ain't always what they seem- come to think of it, I'm sure this was someone's idea of a joke...
