Marketplace Morning Report for Monday, May 18, 2015
Airing on Monday, May 18, 2015: First up on today's show, we'll talk about Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit to South America. Next: The tech sector in San Francisco may be booming, but the city's homeless are still suffering. And with real estate prices skyrocketing, pressure on the needy to find housing has intensified. Advocates say there is only one shelter bed for about every six homeless people, and the homeless and their neighbors are clamoring for solutions. So the city is trying something a little different—a shelter with fewer rules and more open space.
