Almost all the camping grounds within 100 miles of Los Angeles are now filled with people living in them.
Two years ago about 1,300 people were evicted from properties in central LA. Last year it was 15,500. Across the wider Los Angeles region 62,400 people were thrown out of their homes.
Up to 100,000 people are sleeping on the streets or in shelters on any given night. Some have been living like that for years. Others found themselves suddenly destitute as the bank seized their home or they lost a job and couldn't pay the rent.
Deanne Weakly was among the first to the microphone. The 51-year-old estate agent told how a couple of years ago she was pulling in $80,000 (£48,000) a year from commissions selling homes in LA's booming property market.
When the bottom fell out of the business with the foreclosure crisis, she lost her own house and ended up living on the streets in a city with more homeless than any other in America. She was sexually assaulted, harassed by the police and in despair.

This is Zombulation fellow Fools. The stuff the mainstream press doesn't report. When tens of millions lose jobs and homes....many end up homeless. Zombulation is now moving up the social scale affecting people never expecting to end up with no options.
As government budgets get cut due to lack of funds, the resources to assist people will dwindle further.....and we will become a Zombulation Nation.
Police officers and firefighters are being deluged with responses to assist the mentally impaired as many institutions are shutting down and sending patients out on the streets. And to make a difficult situation even worse, we are now firing large numbers of police officers and firefighters due to lack of funds.
This problem is about to get dramatically worse as millions of Americans are likely to lose their jobs as the year draws to a close as cities, counties, states and businesses try to adjust to shrinking year end budgets.
When you give bankers unlimited free money, and incentivize them to cut off credit to the economy.....the economy shuts down due to lack of money resulting in fewer and fewer fulfilling contractual obligations until most of the economy is Zombulated.
But I guess we can look on the bright side, maybe some Fool can teach us how to attach a flat screen to the side of a tent?...but those poor Fools might lose their flat screens when government is forced to tax us 100% to fund our growing deficits.
Oh well...maybe we can have a pancake breakfast to celebrate our new life of Zombulation.
