More with Sheila; this time she does articulate some interesting Slab City concerns on economics, snowbirds and local politics. “People are here because of economic hardship,” how politicians “stir up the swap meet problem," presence of low income housing and snowbirds' relations with the fire department are all addressed by Sheila in an engaging manner. Video quality isn’t always the greatest, but probably useable most of the time.
