it's one of the largest tent cities on the east coast of america and it's got about one hundred people here it's very diverse racially diverse culturally diverse all the old reasons of the traditional reasons for homelessness you've got alcoholism yet mental illness you've got other types of addiction you know but now we've got people here just because of economics solely because of economics the cost of housing in this area especially is very high it takes three minimum wage jobs for a single individual to afford the basic necessities of life if this is a public land and we're part of the public and they've created an environment where we can afford a place to live i believe as an american we have a right. to camp out or to possess public land and tells something is created. it might appear that tent city is you know everybody is just you know drinking or

you know you know causing problems for each other and that's where expecting government handouts that's not the case it's the first line of attack from people who don't like tent city or from people who don't like the homeless the first line get a job get bombed that's what that's the line right that's not the case most of the people work here. a lot of people have full time jobs and i still can't afford a home that's why i'm here i'm a overnight there's a shop right about a mile of the road i work overnight stock and i back. you know i work full time make my paycheck put it in the bank and i save it i still live in a tent i'm not i don't i'm not any sort of government assistance i make too much money. so because i work full time i'm too rich you have to make less than a certain amount of money and it's appends on your household the number of people in your house it's just me i'm not married no kids so for me the money that i make i'm too wealthy i do qualify for food. yes i can get about forty two dollars

a month in food stamps on a sliding scale the maximum for one person is two hundred dollars a month and the minimum i think is about twenty dollars a month depending on how much money you make so because i work full time i'm too rich to get welfare or temporary rent assistance or general assistance where they just give you a check for one hundred forty dollars a month so i'm too wealthy. go figure to wealthy that's my house you see back there i live in a tent i'm too wealthy. it's a good general systems. is i mean this this works out this is right this is the way america is supposed to be. it's it's unbalanced you have hardworking upstanding citizens who can afford homes. you know thirty years thirty plus years we lived in new york with thirty years and we've been vegetarian. and we rescue animals we only lived in new york city we

spent tens of thousands of dollars rescue us believe in the tens of thousands of dollars rescuing birds we if we hadn't done we wouldn't have been home with. what do they call it in this and this you know what any good had security money but i don't regret it because we saved so many wonderful lives yeah yeah i'm assuming the textile industry professor in five years and it's just pretty much it's all been outsourced to china and the industry it was a very large move mostly new york based it was just stunning for that bird's brains primarily did some lovins to. the furniture. and. i. went up the ladder into the church. and i was assigned to rock. and my biggest

movie. was like twenty yards. you know did many. years designs so to millions of dollars you see. pennies on the tallent pennies on the docket it literally. to use to. deny to my boss. like it's a. right chant. that's right. somebody could just see. me each of them actually there were three of them each made a million and he can't be here until. just those three i'm not counting everything else i did. i was really quite successful. so that it's you know there's a lot of reasons why people end up in tent city but again you know i i don't ask

any questions when they come down here and they say i have no place to stay you know we'll give them a tent you know just gave give them some basic rules and the fundamental rule is respect your neighbor you know get along with your neighbor and for the most part they they do the community is quite quite good about getting along with each other having barber coming back from it right that i did not run till the. day thank you and it was. time blaring music that's going to have an illness i have that right now here you have on this list and i would have been reset already i mean i'm at baghdad if it were it thank you for just having a. bad legs that's why you're going to get they don't think things are good thank you and they all and the hundreds i mean you. can have her. and then you

all were me. so you know this could be donated here this comes from a high end warehouse. in a neighboring town too far from here maybe they'll be three miles and what it is is when it gets close to the date you know the expiration date they can't send it out to their people so so they don't say they did you know a tax write off on you know one of things that they donate so it benefits us just. bill you know in date very close to date but in date and it's a true you know a tremendous you know benefit for the homeless thing is we good we still don't have a place to live you know which girl. who knows bill shorten its way through in a pickle with. taiwan and gone right and. pretty much came here because on. clinton we had in the bar when. we went two hundred dollars short of

a one of. four firemen and they make that us all of the stuff got taken away from us and everything and we wound it up here in every sense and then your system has been a blessing soliciting he opened up his aunts saw us and in a number wanted to. make a career being homeless. you know as of the will i get into in the like a miss when they want to do it because it's free when you know they're on the pier and then no worries i would if you if you can vicariously so lively stairsteps the thing with me personally i like stability unless. you're listening to the townspeople it's your cross section. come

out it never happened they have no idea what i'm bringing. some time. so a lot of times will get you know things donated by companies. and so it's a benefit for just whatever i get i just give out freely and never charge he's. a lot of these people especially the spanish the next. confabulation a lot of them living in overcrowded conditions slumlord conditions of bad plumbing battle like tricity you know of wires running all over the place crowded into small spaces you know doing whatever they can to secure their housing a lot of it's substandard housing in there just a scraping by was easy to look at my little. city. and. the money here is the reason the.

leave. the end of the. house would. be easy. because. when we both. don't think any of this is subsidized i think the people are you know bank for this out of their own pocket and again it was probably a couple of bamn least living per bartman here sharing the expenses of the apartment but i don't think in most of the mexicans you know a lot of them aren't registered americans or legal americans so are the coal mine documented so they can't get any government help you know maybe if their children were born here they can get some food stamp money but they won't get into

subsidized housing if they're if they're. not doctrinaire. and although there are afraid of immigration you know immigration has been stepping up lately you know. anybody gets old all over time you know legal infraction there are no sending them back to mexico people of the area we are very wary of right now. anybody strange. yeah. after coming here i have to develop a new website for accounts that he and i maintain it's facebook age. until now most people knew about tent city from the local media outlets which aren't all which ones are always very friendly for the website we're trying to put on our own our own voice and so. people for different kinds of things you know it's it's

for you know just news and happenings really density in some ways they can they can help. it will this this time of year starts to pick up so the summer summer is the hottest for the can say july and august at a slower slice of people who don't need them in their cars and the kids go back to school to shop and then a really big jump from november to december christmastime. i was working for a high voltage electrical contractor doing work in the lincoln tunnel by holland tunnel the george washington bridge and then coming home at night and going out to the woods and bringing sleeping bags and you know propane in the wintertime you know doing whatever i could to help them out and then after a while i realized i couldn't do both i couldn't keep my job working up in new york city and then come down to you know come down here and go out into the woods at

night time all over the place and meet the needs of the home so i decided to leave my job and i started doing this full time. interview.

it's all about misselling member lloyds banking i think that was their specialty in the u.k. was. like barclays. b c their specialty is money laundering and then roll back. into the leg breaking and mafia whacking with their subsidiary restructuring groups every bank has their own special way to commit fraud if you want to get mis selling fraud go to lloyd's. rise of islamic state or isis in the middle east is said to reorder political realities in the region the west feel colonial agenda for the arab world is coming to an end it would seem the arab spring has been replaced with the summer.

ok go ahead with the border first. heavenly father we thank thee for another day that has given us the breath of life another day to enjoy the beauty and the wonders of the great creation. would continue to help us in tent city even is now is already done by the b. c. the faithfulness and i kind toward those father in need valor here in tent city we see the real tangible ways in which thou does care

for the poor and the needy. we have pizza every day. name of jim he meets me out at the root of bob o'clock in the morning he goes around to about ten pizza parlors at the end of the day whatever they've got left over and they didn't sell on their shelves they donate you know to tim or to the homeless or answer champix that i've been that he goes and he sleeps on the road he's homeless themself lives in his car and it's all he does all day long as he takes people to the doctor you pick up from bakeries delivered a pantries and he does this all on his his pension check he sleeps in his car and spends his money on helping people all day long yes amazed you have never seen a higher degree of self-sacrifice there because he is a true tour of vietnam combat that still. mom is simply mom and guys thank. you very much in. a lot of it and

so i believe the words of the bible i believe there's eternal life so that's what i'm investing in other words it's mine because i believe it and so what i've got here i can use to help other people because i don't have to attain anything here this is just an investment for what's to calm. it. down this is really low. he's sad because all i do is wake up to the iss and. wake up and just get me a bowl always cereal no because before you say asking for like all types of food and now she's like craving the end you have to believe in the morning that it is not at all hamburger i don't remember the hamburger of or name who did it i'm. going to i mean a burger i'm going mostly believe me and you know if somebody is hungry intensity they want to be hungry. because they don't have enough food for most people it

don't mean you can also oh yeah. hoping that by example they would learn a lesson but. again it's typical you know the path of least resistance whatever's easier and i know that's tendency with human beings you know human nature is just to find the easiest way out a lot of times with somebody else one is willing to do the work let him do it so. you know i don't mind doing it but it's you know short term this tent city is not going to be forever just grows old townships are closing it down and then we're going to go to another phase. of the. lab. but it's on this year's over hope to be in my apartment. it's very funny i remember if i'm one

year when that year is the hopefully i'll be gainfully employed and i'll be able to be self-sufficient. you know back on the right track so i go for. it take care you know i found. that's the goal. post another picture of the wound my other kid is not with me and for selena. but he's in foster care and myla my concerns with the. and i pretty much saw the kids out there. i was in foster care myself but there is so bell here and i just want all the kids to know they. i'll be continuing to fight for all the kids out there including my name never give up on hold for the wonderful truth that they have a good day guys. are moving. into the loop on. the. new things.

all the room. yeah we do think it's romantic we fight for it all the time. who gets to make the fly who makes the best buy and of course you know who makes the best last year it will be if. i didn't say you said it right there you know the. just as if you think we were wouldn't be busy believe me all the time i juvies this you know it's very hard work you know every back pedal thing you do

is work you know if i get to wash dishes i have to heat water i have to get water because all the water sprouts it you know. very hard work. but she did one daughter she's ten or forty so might. still have we've got three grains. it's time to sleep pretty much lost touch haven't talked to them in years. oh i was. really and we haven't talked to anybody since we came here except cry i did talk to her daughter until i found time to check dumped all our stuff all my paintings i can see on my christmas even easy stuff we had already and. that week. when we came here we weren't sure we would stand

a wheel we brought the necessities. not only. on laws. is house of learning. because all my free time i like to study so i to be an official house of learning. is my desk this is where i do my reading. study books hear a lot of his biblical you know religious freak or religious fanatic but a lot of stuff that i study is biblical also mathematics and physics i mean to quantum physics currently i'm saying to myself it's just i consider knowledge is that the best use of your time is just gain as much as you can. this is like a it's like a gingerbread house it's the cutest house intensity is definitely the most well maintained they put a lot of effort into it. they have they have made it look like the candy house

doesn't like something from a storybook they made their own street what is this a one paradise lamed it's just people that are trying to live you know they they're making the best of a bad situation really then battling the township for of three years now since two thousand and ten they took us to court they sued us township of lakewood sued the homeless for certain how to get us off the land and a lawyer. our stood up on our behalf a very strong lawyer belong to a very powerful lawyer firm they spent over a million and a half dollars representing us and so he we kind of reached a compromise that the what we would do is we would take a year's worth of housing that's what supposed to be happening but with the township is doing is trying to figure out any way they can to disqualify the people down intensity so that it's been a half a year since that that court case since a consent order was signed but nobody has gotten housing through the township and.

the other night we experienced the worst harassment from the police in the township that we've ever experienced up to this time they came in and they started ticketing people giving people tickets for burning to wood stoves. already. selling the streets. we were bought this is just the present. you have to deal with this it's not easy. to move all of this what is a good day will smile so that a cup of coffee. every day is good because you know woke us up this morning but some days you know the double of the take a day off so he can the pressure you into thinking that he is them going to get better. nonoy right now i have no other options all i have this tent city i have no

other house no apartment no other options i'm totally homeless i'm totally it like anybody else in ten said if the township closes down ten city i've got no place to go my parents were very giving and self sacrificing so i think i picked up those traits from my parents and you know also my religious beliefs also ok in test i'm coming ok thanks paula. i feel much more fulfilled much more satisfied much more complete as a human being reaching out to other people. but i'll tell you one thing. god is in the boat. got out who's in the boat. and god's not going to let it in the way that the township thinks that it's going to hand because god isn't bound justice or god isn't down there in this town is about

equality god is about the principles that the founding fathers of america spend so much time and concern in addressing the fairness of a good society. yes they'll criticize some other country for their human rights violations in my book that's called hypocrisy my book that's cold injustice or duplicity. mom brought it home around. who lives. close the lone. soldier. whose own goal.

to go places try to. see people are going to be going to want to come to life for the story taking every minute. cut me. laugh though at. my own life but. let's think that's setting goals. these cases must meet limits to. sometimes from nothing which. is so easy. it's not just. only about still can still be just a few safety to a stage eight looking to us but speech was said.
