Many (if not most) of these places don't even have this > fact posted in public. Years ago, hoboes and bums camped in what were called, naturally enough, "hobo camps." These were on the outskirts of towns, near train yards, etc. Today's bums, drifters, addicts, and crack hoes don't find out of the way places to camp: they are "in your face" about camping on the streets of cities, in the alcoves of shops (which have to hose off the urine in the morning), and even in private yards (at least here in Santa Cruz this is a recurring problem: homeowners finding assorted druggies and Deadheads camping in their yards). This is why cities and towns are "cracking down" on those who set up camp in populated areas, on private property, defecating and urinating on public lands, encroaching into private yards and lands. Fifty years ago people who did this probably would have been given a dirt nap and nobody would have filed charges. --Tim May
