Nothing a bonfire and a backhoe couldn't fix.
Edit
Looks like it comes fully furnished.

Doesn’t that go for upper middle class in the area?

there's been a social collapse. Who's more fit and motivated to eek out an existence with point and purpose and the barest of resources under this collapse: the counterpart to these kids or the counterpoint to the justin beibers and kardashians and 90210 youth?

As I was taking away the last two truck loads from a homeless camp Yucca Valley had asked the Team to clean up, a young fellow walked up saying "We are homeless. Can we stay here tonight?" His girl friend could not have been more than twenty, she had no coat or blanket, little clothing shielding her from the sun and had not even a pack to carry what little she had. When I said I had not the authority to give them permission, he told his friend to pick up her stuff again as they had to move on.
More often than not a discarded mattress lying on the sand is someone's home. It is all they have. We all cling ferociously to life. Those with luck have a little water and the ability to breathe.
The work I and the teams have been doing here has stripped from me the inclination to make judgments.
Children's toys lying in the sand are the hardest.

Lots of places like that scattered in the hills behind Sonora, California. It's just a question of degree I guess.

Its against the law to be poor. To live in poverty is to break the law, and risk imprisonment.
It is required that you must exist just above the true poverty level here in California.
Please don't be poor. It is distasteful.

Compared to what I saw in India, these conditions were not so awful. A neighbor said that they were living in very spartan, frugal conditions, but that the children were not abused.
I saw a family with a samosa stand in India live right next to a busy street, constant truck and car exhaust, and a much smaller living space than this. From a health standpoint, being slightly underfed is better than being over fed.

Yeah, most of these people here have never been anywhere except on their computers.
Americans are so spoiled rotten.
