Is America Turning Into A Third World Country?Super Bowl In Miami Reveals A Shantytown

I have walked through the “favela’s” of Brazil. They are illegal shantytowns where families live in cardboard or plywood make-shift houses on government-owned property, electricity is jerry-rigged, water is a faucet on the dirt road, and thousands of people live in crammed spaces.

It appears in the impoverished Liberty City district of Miami, a make-shift shantytown is being built. It is emphasizing the fact that more and more Americans are unable to afford housing, becoming homeless, and are resorting to life on the streets—like the shantytowns in the Third World.

In a couple of weeks, Miami will be hosting the Super Bowl, and like other cities that hosted this annual football game in the past, city officials are scrambling to hide their city’s homeless.

It’s amazing that a sporting event is the motivation to addressing homelessness. And we all know, that short-term answers to homelessness don’t work.
