The homeless of Seattle (and a lot more of their "adovcates") were moved from their high profile pink tent camp today.  The arrests were without fanfare, although its organizers complain that their property is "presumably destroyed" and that the city should have been willing to provide land for the tents.  The challenges of providing housing for those who need it continue to vex local officials.  Mayors all over the country, including Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, have ten year plans to end homelessness, but the problem, especially with foreclosures on the rise, will likely get worse before it gets better.
