The Farm Where NYC Planted Its Homeless

In the third and final in this series, we go into Sea View Farm Colony, a place created to house and care for New York City's homeless. The residents worked the land in exchange for housing and healthcare. After it was abandoned, urban legend confused it with the nearby Willowbrook State School, a mental institution made famous when Geraldo Rivera exposed the horrible conditions there. After it was shut down, Willowbrook's infamy continued when one of it former orderlies was convicted of a series of child murders in the area. He lived on the grounds and the shallow grave of one his victim's was found on Willowbrook's grounds.

Good video, the way the homeless is still treated today is appalling and unconscionable.
