Police in Seattle arrested twenty-four people Friday after a raid on a homeless encampment known as Nickelsville. Over the past week, homeless residents had set up 150 tents on property owned by the city. On Saturday, a new tent city was set up in a nearby parking lot. Homeless advocates say tent cities are increasingly showing up across the country due to the foreclosure and economic crisis.
