This morning's New York Times has a cover image I wasn't sure that I'd live to see.
Fresno, California's very own shantyville. Whether we call them Hooverville's (circa 1930), Nickelsville (circa current Seattle, WA mayor) or if I'm being unfair calling them Bushville's (considering his ambitious housing-first model to significantly reduce homelessness), maybe we should just call them their city's Capital Hill.
Whatever we call them, I don't see them going away anytime soon.
(Oh, and I'm riffing on the downside of free-market capitalism with the name, not just misspelling Capitol Hill.)
