training scheme, they receive no money from the state. There are hostels
for the homeless, but the accommodation is always temporary.
Every night an army of invisible people disappear into the alleys
and abandoned buildings of Austin, Texas. They are the city's homeless. But
here and in more than 40 cities across the United States, the homeless are
facing new laws banishing them from the streets. Critics see the movement
as proof of the growing hardheartedness of America. There are about
700,000 homeless people in the United States.
In Austin the city council is nearing final approval of a law to ban
camping in any public place. In New Orleans, an anti-camping law has just
been proposed, to control the homeless youths who swarm the French
Quarter. "The general public is fed up," said New Orleans city council
president Peggy Wilson. "People should be able to use public spaces.
When other people come in and build cardboard tents and so on, the area
becomes inaccessible for everyone else. Particularly in Lafayette
Square, there's a group that feeds people on weekends, and they make no
effort to clean up; they dump the garbage, and there's the presence of
enormous rats."
In Austin, the city's estimated 6,000 homeless can be found near the
drinking clubs of Sixth Street near the University of Texas campus and in tents
in corners of the city parks.
It is the business community who wants rid of them most. "Austin is
known as an easy city. It provides a lot for the homeless," said Jose N
Downtown Austin Alliance, which favors the anticamping bill.
The city's new anticamping law is expected to carry fines as high as
$500. At the same time, the council’s homeless task force, is proposing a
$3,5 million "campus" for the homeless. Task force member Tom Hatch, an
architect, said: "It's insane to make not having a home a crime."

Армия невидимых людей исчезает на аллеях, доказательство
усиливающейся жестокости, городской совет, строить палаточный
городок, деловые люди, делать из бездомного преступника,
помогать бездомным, общественные места.
