that's probably because of the tents

i mean, there's maybe twelve tents in that photo

not a city

i can't actually view those photos.

is it something like this:

yeah

used to live in sac and cycled near the river alot. always wondered where all the homeless lived down there as they were always about.

in sf the homeless hide in golden gate park. i guess in sac, tent city is allowed and the climate is perfect for camping out most of the year.

I would have gone south where it doesn't rain so much.

Weren't you making music at one time?

yes, that's true. i still am, but the difference is that now all i got is a straight up 80s cassette recorder, a guitar, a banjo, and a wooden flute. no idm magic :(

I'm going to make tents for a living.

oooh, ooh

Looks like 15 people who've already been homeless for years. This is not newsworthy...yet

There's always been a population of homeless/hippies along the American River for years... I lived in Rancho Cordova (right outside Sacramento) for 12 years... I was shocked though how much Sacramento has gone downhill since I was last there in 1998 (I visited last February). If it's grown that much, then things are indeed as bad as my mother tells me.

cant they just go live with some family for a while? why do they have to be so emo?

Wait, what? You have a mother?

i hope they don't do what happened in Tampa, and go apeshit on the only thing people have to live in to protect themselves from the elements.
