Two tree dwellers maintain their perch in Brazil
21 Views • Aug 23, 2012
Description
Officials told the men to move into a homeless shelter, but the two tree dwellers have made the trees their home, say it's more peaceful than a shelter and safer than sleeping on the streets.
In a city with a houseless population of 15,000, city social workers tell the men that living in a tree sets a bad precedent and violates city code.
Gabriel Elizondo reports from Sao Paulo.
