The urban and youth downslide

Mike Davis's article was interesting about the lengths they will go to or not go to with ending homelessness. We all know that in a rich buisness area there would be nice places to eat and shop as well as comfortable park benches to relax on, just as we knew that in poorer areas the benches are almost unbearable to sit on even for a homeless person also with turning the sprinklers on at night to avoid vagrancy. Hine's article begins about goth's invasion of Disneyland but then goes deeper about what type of groups teens are linked to, especially how segregated they are, we all know this from going to high school. I think he was on point when he says we are now more concerned with individualism these days rather than the pre-mtv days.
