I'm a bit curious as to the relevance and accuracy of this article. Based on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMeEi2aCfrc this video], the sign shown in image was created as a stunt to draw donations to area shelters (it has since been replaced with a politically neutral sign). Additionally, I can't find any evidence of a recent surge in homelessness. While homelessness is up, it is still lower than it was in the first half of the last decade. Finally, there seems to be little in this article about the alleged "Obamavilles" - most of it is information already present in other articles on the site. As a result, this entire article seems wholly unnecessary, like it could be effortlessly merged into another page. --[[User:DrewJ|DrewJ]] 15:14, 23 September 2010 (EDT) | I'm a bit curious as to the relevance and accuracy of this article.
