Here is what a Hooverville looked like during the Great Depression in the 1930’s:
The following report is from Breitbart:
Los Angeles has opened its first tiny homes village in an effort to tackle homelessness, the Associated Press (AP) reported [March 12th].
In February, Amy Skinner got the keys to one of the 39 units on the one-acre plot located in a North Hollywood neighborhood and moved into the temporary space with her partner, John Golka, and their dog.
Being able to lock the door and have a place to sleep is huge.

The Chandler Street village was created and funded by Los Angeles in response to the homelessness crisis.
A 2020 tally found there were 66,400 homeless people in Los Angeles County — up more than 12% from the previous year.
More than 150,000 people are homeless statewide. Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday during his State of the State address that he plans to commit $2 billion this year to create more housing for those without shelter, while simultaneously addressing mental health and substance abuse issues.
According to the AP report
Ken Craft, CEO of the nonprofit Hope of the Valley, which is in charge of the Chandler Street location, said he asked neighbors if they would prefer a tent encampment or tiny homes on the plot.
Here we have services. Here people can start to chart a path out of homelessness.

Their Facebook post attached with this said this:
Hope of the Valley is happy to announce the Tiny Home Village on Chandler is almost at full capacity and is now providing the essential services to people who are now off the streets, safe and on the road to permanent housing! Prior to our grand opening, we conducted onsite tours. For those who were unable to see the site for yourself,
In April, Hope of the Valley will open and operate a 103 unit Tiny Home Community in Alexandria Park in North Hollywood. This will be the largest Tiny Home Community in the state of California. (200 beds)
Special thanks to Councilman Paul Krekorian, Mayor Eric Garcetti, the City of Los Angeles, our donors and staff for making this site possible.

Until Everyone Goes to Bed Full and Housed!
The units cost about $7,500 each and were shipped from builder Pallet Shelter in Washington. The project’s total cost was around $5 million, according to City Councilman Paul Krekorian’s office.
The Chandler Street residents’ goal is to stay a few months, then move on to more permanent housing.
In December, officials in Redondo Beach, California, began using tiny homes to help solve the area’s homelessness problem. Although its homeless population is estimated to be less than 200, officials experimented with ways to meet the need.
We have had an increasing homeless problem and we needed a solution. And we really didn’t want to just wait and see what happens, we wanted to take a proactive approach.
Mayor Bill Brand
Meanwhile, San Fransisco is confronting its homeless epidemic by spending $16.1 million on 262 tents.
The tents will be placed in empty lots around the city, creating what officials are calling ‘safe sleeping villages.’ The city will also provide food and other services.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I am reporting on this because it demonstrates, once more, that history is repeating itself. We are in the Greatest Depression across the globe and the signs are everywhere you look. This is why the media is doing everything they can to continually keep the masses comatose and blissfully aware of what is actually transpiring.
When this massive crash occurs that have been warning about breaks lose in the not too distant and ominous future, these things will be popping up everywhere; but I think the homelessness rate will skyrocket so much, and because the masses are utterly slothful and functionally illiterate, people will be unable to even create these tiny home villages so more people will pour into the streets roasting and decaying on the sidewalks.
[10] The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. [11] There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. [12] In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.Isaiah 24:10-12
I urge you to go back and read the book of Lamentations. This is what is coming and then some to this country. It is already happening now but on a much more massive scale.
