It May Be Hard to Believe, but People Actually Live in These Houses

Missing: the story about the cover photo!! 😡

Interesting, but a shame that there are a lot of clips with no explanation as to what they are or where they are.

is there a reason for not explaining some locations at all?

The smell of each community is mercifully missing.

Slab City is on my ‘to-do’ list as a place to visit. Anyone who has been to skid row, knows how bad it can really get. I thought NYC was bad, until I saw skid row. It was life changing and eye opening. This was back when I was still a corporate crony/right-wing conservative (22). If I were a billionaire, I’d build them a few earth-ship styled, fully self-sustainable green buildings. And help establish legislation to never allow ‘for-profit’ developers. All they need is to implement some ridiculously low tax (like 0.25 per year for the next 5k years) and they can even get some sort of services like healthcare and un-invasive self-policing training. More geared towards EMT stuff. Or mental health assistance. Crime happens everywhere, but compared to elsewhere, they’re not doing so bad w no police. We need more free places on this planet.

I love learning about all these places. The extreme poverty absolutely breaks my heart! I was disappointed that a few places were just shown in lengthy videos with no explanation given.

The amount of garbage in some of these places is crazy and sad sheesh

The logistics of building some of these houses is completely insane.

It is NOT the needy people- but the greedy people who run the show - simply incredible

Makes me happy to be home

My heart goes out to the people who have to live in these conditions.

If a huge society of monk's and nun's can live in a clean, litter free environment. Why can't the other societies do the same. Lack of respect for their surroundings, and plain bone idleness is a No1 contender, if I had to make a guess.😊

When sad watch this video and it makes us count our blessings.

My wife, 3 dogs(one of which was a Doberman), a parrot, a newborn and I lived in a camper for almost 2 years. It wasn’t even remotely bad, I actually really enjoyed it. I don’t think it would go over very well with our toddler now. If it was just myself it could’ve been a whole lot smaller. I lived in a little 14ft(I think) camper through fall and winter as a young man. Running water didn’t resist and food was pretty basic can and dry goods. I had to get pretty creative with my bathroom setup. I had a few deep holes that I dug when it was warmer. I would dump my waste in and then drop a scoop if loose dirt on top and place the cover back over them to the snow didn’t fill them in. I also rotated where I slept based on temperature. If it was hot, I slept on the floor if it was frozen, I slept in a bunk as close to the ceiling as I could get. If it wasn’t to bad out I would sit next to a little fire and watch the night go by. I was able to use the shower inside my dad’s place and if I need to clean clothes or whatever but it was kept to a minimum because of the troubles I was dealing with my step mom.

👎👎 Please show thumbnail picture first.

12:15 Hot tub on stilts perched on a cliff side isn't something that seems all that appealing. Something in the back of my head wouldn't let me settle down.

Wow, such a cool video. Some of the poverty though. Reminds us of how blessed we are.

It would've been nice if the narrator gave the locations of some of the places not named.

Makoko , Manila, Mumbai , Jakarta , Dhaka slums areas are next level

Sad that they live in horrendous places in this day and age.
