"Tent City."

SACRAMENTO
A few miles from the state Capitol, on a pasture of land bounded by a railroad track and the tranquil American River, a large cluster of homeless men and women has settled in what's been dubbed "Tent City." With perhaps hundreds of makeshift tents, no running water or bathrooms, and trash strewed everywhere, the encampment conjures up images of Third World living in America.
