Although the original Tent City was forced to shut down, it is interesting to note that two more were created by departing residents on the same day the eviction occurred � one is located in front of St. Vincent DePaul and the other is located at 9th Street and 5th Ave. North. See previous storyUnable to find a place which would take the flurry of useless rent vouchers passed out by Social Services, residents resorted to smaller encampments on public sidewalks. And as the homeless continue to struggle and the Mayor�s policies continue to fail, we anticipate that more Tent Cities will arise as �communities within communities� in an attempt to find the security and stability that current social programs do not afford.
