    I’m not sure about percentage, but I do know that Cuba and DPRK have practically eliminated homelessness. China unfortunately still has homeless people at less than 1 percent of its population, but because of the eradication of absolute poverty and promotion of community centers and social programs, they have better opportunities and living standards than homeless people in other countries.

      Well, there are areas where housing is older and smaller. Like for example, this is in guanzhuo in a poorer neighborhood taken earlier this year.

          I like to think it’s because I’m a good photographer, but I can’t take all the credit.

          There is something violent, disgusting, synthetic, and sickly about middle/upper middle class american neighborhoods. Lower middle/poor feels in the shadow of this beast, not quite as twisted and fake, but stressful and occasionally dangerous. By contrast to me looking at this picture there is something peaceful to it, something frank and more harmonius with natural life.

            agreed. my neighborhood has perfectly green lawns, bungalows with three cars in the garage, HOA rules means no sheds or gardens, it’s eerie and strange how awful it is. No trees, either. I hate it here, despite how privileged i am to live here.

        What’s worse, Finland again turns into neo-fascist direction.
