America's homeless population is on the rise, says Blake Ellis. With the rise of homeless people also comes the struggle for shelter. A home is a human basic need which some people are deprived of. So what happens when so many people go without this basic need? Tent cities.
Tent cities, a growing community across the country. They are communities of people without homes coming together to form tent neighborhoods. Blake Ellis states some of these cities have mayors who decide who can stay and who can go, and even control what goes on. If the mayor wants a drug free city, it will be done. If the mayor thinks somebody is unfit to be in the community, it will be dealt with. So who is to say whether these places are good or bad? The real issue is that we have so much homeless people that they no longer can depend on the government to provide a safe environment. A sad truth, we are on our own in this world. But the truth is we are social creatures, so the family atmosphere is there. I say if these communities help out in some way, whose to say we should stop people from being happy?
