The
Tent City Of New Jersey: Desperate Victims Of Economic
Slump Forced To Live In Makeshift Homes In Forest
In scenes reminiscent of the Great
Depression these are the ramshackle homes of the
desperate and destitute U.S. families who have set up
their own 'Tent City' only an hour from Manhattan.
More than 50 homeless people have joined the community
within New Jersey's forests as the economic crisis has
wrecked their American dream. And as politicians in
Washington trade blows over their country's £8.8
trillion debt, the prospect of more souls joining this
rag tag group grows by the day.
