Josh, 16, is a resident at Democracy village, says that people are tired and the camp is lacking spirit as it has been a struggle dealing with the living situation and the influx of homeless people with drug and alcohol problems. Activists are now outnumbered by homeless people which amounts to about 80% of the residents here. Initially the site was aimed to be alcohol free but now alcoholics and drug addicts make up the majority of people living here.
