Speaking of people coming to Atlantic City with money, a job back home and then losing it all and becoming suddenly homeless...

On my visits to Atlantic City, I've had people (‘bums’) tell me they had a family, a job and came to A.C. with money and got drunk and/or addicted to gambling and lost it all. Yes, I'm sure these people were struggling to begin with.

 

The point that I'm trying to make is that it's easier then one would think to become homeless, especially with high rates of foreclosures & health care costs/lack of health care.

they are busing the homeless back home? If they have a home, how are the homeless?

I guess they mean busing them back to where they were from.

But all that's really doing is moving around the problem.
