The link is just one, quick random sample I found. I want to ask my fellow Gulchers something. Do you notice an explosion in the homeless population in your region lately? Around the Sacto area in in NorCal it has absolutely exploded this year. It has always been present here. But, now they are everywhere. I live in a nice community but even last night I found several hobos camping along a nearby office building in an upscale location. Both of my offices are surrounded. One of the offices is next to an old Arby's that just closed so no there's nothing by the office - just a closed eatery and a big park. It's actually nice and quiet with lots of trees, but the hobos have come in, bigtime. They're just infiltrating the entire region, spilling into every neighborhood. My young son has grown accustomed to transient hobo camps along the river by our house. It's just part of his world. I never saw that when I was kid.

Anybody else seeing this? We've got little commercial zones with artisan-type shops and on Saturday morning they're lined with people in sleeping bags. I've never seen it like this... The news media has simply not mentioned a peep, either.
