Incredible Homeless Home

Police in San Diego have uncovered what I think is one of the most amazing makeshift homes I've ever seen. Inside a culvert designed to handle floodwaters during San Diego's infrequent storms, a homeless couple had made themselves at home by damming off the flow with a waist high masonry wall. In the walled off space, the couple had a TV, VCR and DVD hooked up to battery power, kitchen and pantry and mirror over the bed. Less fancy were the (un)sanitary facilities. But you have to give them credit for ingenuity.
