For the online .pdf version of their print report click here--->http://nlihc.org/sites/default/files/oor/2014OOR.pdf
The NLIHC released its annual report. Some highlights:
Summaries by state are on pages 16-17; details by county/major metropolitan area are listed by state beginning on page 18 with Alabama. If you're in the US, check out your neck of the woods.
Before you are tempted to dismiss this as some liberal/democrat/socialist propaganda, check out where all of their info came from (page 10 for a brief overview; the appendices for detailed info and methodology).

Americans are equalizing with the world. This is expected.
There is no end in sight to the money printing. If they stop printing then interest rates rise, and the debt-based economy unravels. Plus, the interest payments become unmanageable.
Their solution is to inflate the money, which will lower the real wage of workers, which will drop the standard of living for Americans, and ease the equalization.

There are parts of this country that you aren't any better than a third world country. Coming out west was wake up call, going thru the indian reservations and seeing the slums out here in these sprawled cities. I grew up in a poor city but it just didn't look as obvious to me at least since we all lived in like 100 year old Victorian houses and the streets were kept clean, it at least looked like it was nice at one time.
