This morning another grim discovery in Lakewood's growing tent city. A still unnamed 47 year old man was found dead in his tent. The apparent cause was hypothermia otherwise known as freezing to death.
This latest tragedy comes on the heels of the recent awareness that the tent city is growing and something needs to be done for the homeless and the people that live in the area and are affected by the smoke and detritus.
It seems that the Township Committee does not see the urgency in getting the matter resolved. They are relying on lawyers to accomplish that which can easily be accomplished through simple communication between all the parties involved. Without communication and open discussion the problem will continue to grow.
