Shanty Towns,

Los Angeles area: Today while driving North on the 710, between the 105 and the 60 freeways I noticed several tarped shack set ups off the side off the freeway. One area had a small fire going, probably for cooking. You hardly have to look very hard to see these anymore. My brother lives in the Phoenix, AZ area and he told me that banks are beginning to not put up foreclosure signs because of squatters. JDJ
