The story goes, if you give them tents, they get inside and won't go look for work. They will be multiplying like rabbits in there, and eventually demand more from the citys. Why work when you give them a home and free meals? Would you want a tent city outside your door? Anybodys neighborhood but mine!!!
Thirty-five year old Karissa Vaugh in Seattle is a tent city resident.
"As soon as I lost my job, I kinda of lost my place to live and came here," Vaughn told CBN News. "This is something that, you know, it could happen to anybody. And the preconceived notions I had maybe before about homeless people are out the window."
Aaron Beachage once lived in a $1,200 a month apartment. He now lives out of his van parked at the tent city. "I have been homeless about three months," he said. "I found myself in this predicament through my job as a truck driver, losing my job.
"It feels kind of uncomfortable," she explained. "We don't feel very safe with them there. We're just afraid they might sneak into the building. It just doesn't seem like a very good situation."
