A tent city sounds like a great start to me. Let's make it happen.

May this be a sign that more tents will go up today and our community be vibrant again as we Occupy San Diego Civic Center and make our voices heard regarding the corrupt politicians, bankers and the 1% that needs to learn how to share.
