The Homeless & the Home-Less

On the front page of the local news section of the P-I this morning is a feature on David Entrikin's 1,500 portraits of local homeless people. (You can read more about Entrikin's photo exhibit on "unsheltered" people here.) On the inside page is this story: Seattle-area foreclosures soar. This August, King and Snohomish counties had 1,185 foreclosure filings, or one out of every 906 households. According to the Greek chorus that is the SoundOff comments section, the lesson here is, "Live within your means." No one responded to the commenter who interjected that the three foreclosures he knew of were related to two divorces and a death.

I picked up some Marxist literature last night that encouraged all those who desire Black Unity to join neighborhood organizations that ward against such social evils as foreclosures. I thought that was an interesting item to throw into the laundry list of Issues Marxist Neighbors Are Concerned About.
