Re: the Homeless... has anyone read the book "Stranger to the System"? It is actual folks telling their story of a New York City homeless community, mostly around Tompkins Square park....I read the book in one day...could not put it down.

   A Day in the Life of the Homeless in America 

    By Sharon Cohen 

    The Associated Press 

 

    Sunday 27 February 2005 

 

>From villages to large cities, homelessness has spread like dye through the weave of Americas social fabric. A single day in the life of the homeless reveals hundreds of thousands without shelter, and blame goes to everything from the lack of affordable housing and unemployment to drug abuse, mental illness and a flawed foster care system.
