Hoovervilles? No. Reaganvilles

The New York Times reported yesterday that cities are dealing with a “surge in shantytowns.” It’s an “unhappy déjà vu: the arrival of modern-day Hoovervilles.”
I think progressives should get ahead of this and start calling these places Reaganvilles or Wall Streetvilles or Republicanvilles or Greedvilles. Something to point out that free market uber-capitalists who thought that letting Wall Street do whatever it wanted would bring us into the golden light of prosperity for all.
