MIAMI - OCTOBER 24: Leon Thomas (L) and Cara Jennings work on constructing a shanty town in the Liberty City neighborhood October 24, 2006 in Miami, Florida. Several organizations and individuals occupied the public land to build the shanty town to house the poor and homeless. Citing disillusionment with the ability of the system to serve the needs of the poor Black community, and in the wake of the latest government housing scandal, the shanty town was built. The lot owned by the city of Miami and has been vacant for years since the Miami purchased, and subsequently demolished the low rent apartment complex at the site. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
