| 792012 | 2009-07-15 19:05:00 | NPR.org, July 15, 2009 (www.npr.org) · To some people, the Land of the Free doesn't always seem so free. And America the Beautiful doesn't look so pretty. That's the viewpoint of two Washington-based groups — the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, and the National Coalition for the Homeless — that have targeted the country's mingiest municipalities. Without further ado, the groups' Top 10 Meanest U.S. Cities are: 1. Los Angeles, California 2. St. Petersburg, Florida. 3. Orlando, Florida. 4. Atlanta, Georgia 5. Gainesville, Florida. 6. Kalamazoo, Michigan. 7. San Francisco, California 8. Honolulu, Hawaii 9. Bradenton, Florida. 10. Berkeley, California. The list is part of the organizations' "Homes Not Handcuffs" report. Released on Tuesday, the survey shows "an increase in the trend in cities around the country to criminalize homelessness," says NLCHP Executive Director Maria Foscarinis. Her group has been monitoring the issue since the early '90s. The report, covering 224 cities, is an updated version of a 2006 study. In the past three years, according to the groups' findings, there has been a rise in laws that directly affect homeless people — including an 11 percent increase in anti-loitering laws and a 7 percent rise in regulations that ban camping in certain public spaces. |

| 792021 | 2009-07-16 05:34:00 | pretty crap country to live in J Is there anything good about your country Yes. The most contradictory country too. World renown for the religious cults, plus world infamous for its porn industry too. The Constitution but look at how rascist it is. Land of opportunity but loads are in poverty. And so on. But: anything good? Yeah - the computer industry, well at least the birth of it. Steve Wozniack, Xerox PARC, Intel. 3 good things. |
