Being homeless is no fun. And in Newark, New Jersey its seems like its a condition that prevails. I won't attribute this to the whole region but on my bus rides and when I board the train at Newark Penn Station I see much of this evidence of people being displaced. Most of these homeless folks take up residence at the station, begging, seeking warmth and of course a place to stay and sleep. A train station is no place to stay and not a place you can call home, but these people have no where to go and the officials that govern Newark seem not to care that they have a growing homeless population. They simply let them sleep and take residence inside or outside the station. It seems like there is a paucity of social programs to help these homeless people or maybe they are just being ignored and hopefully no one will notice.
