Jeff Morris runs the Encinitas Watchdog Group and they have been actively monitoring how the homeless issue became a crisis in Encinitas, CA.  This issue did not happen organically, it was basically manufactured by arguably a corrupt system that is designed to make money off the homeless issue.  It's a sad commentary but one that is actually happening not just in Encinitas, CA but I would suggest, all over the country.  It's not a pleasant topic but it's very informative.  Enjoy
