2 garden hoses & 6 outhouses for better than 350 people.

If I were on a construction site OSHA would require me to have 1 out house for every 10 workers & that's only for an 8 hr day. As for water it has to be supplied in a clean container with enough clean disposal cups & a large enough drinking supply that could accomadate so they don't have to stand to wait an unreasonable time to refresh themselves. That's just for drinking.

Unless these people are provided for the local communities or unless the government steps in to help the locals will be paying for the health issues that will certinally arise not to mention paying for the social issues. They are the responsibility of the nation.

In days gone by these were also called hobo camps, we are seeing signs of the return of a new Great Depression if we don't start to turn this nation around, NOW & MacSame is not the one to do that.
