> There's simply no way for large-scale slums to develop in the US. In one sense, that's correct. If there were a slum in the US, the cities could buy back the land through eminent domain and resell it to a developer to build economy apartments. And who would fight it? On the other hand you have Portland, OR, where a lot of people are living on the streets in tents. No matter where you go, you'll see the tents downtown. I was last there this summer, and downtown Portland is just not a city that I'd enjoy. If the cops move them, they'll just move someplace else. Also, it's worth noting, that Portland, OR has a map for the homeless encampments reported to the city. https://pdx.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/c68d1d2e29e444a7b70f20aaafcbfbeb https://pdx.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/c68d1d2e29e444a7...
