COMMENTS: Tough Love--but Without the Love
Chris Jansing continued her coverage of the bleak consequences of the housing crisis for NBC's In Depth. For the fourth time in the last month she updated us on the shantytowns for the newly homeless in western states. The tent city in Sacramento, population 200, will have eviction notices posted on Monday, she warned, as Mayor Kevin Johnson has declared it "unsanitary and unsafe." Yet local homeless shelters have only 50 beds available for its displaced residents and affordable housing is being offered to only ten couples. The evictions are "a tough love" approach, Jansing concluded. The tough was obvious. The love part was harder to find.
