  • Imagine going through a coronavirus lockdown inside a 6-by-3-foot box. That’s the reality of thousands of poor Hong Kong residents who live in cramped “coffin homes.” At a time when most people are staying home to stay safe, some of Hong Kong’s poorest face a painful dilemma: Is it safer to sleep at home or on the street?

    When he said he has no family or friends that was really saddening to hear, I hope life gets better for them

      I'll go have lunch with him. Meeting new people is always good. And, it's good for loneliness.

    The dude seemed awfully content and chirpy despite his conditions, doubt I'd be the same if I had to sleep in a coffin next to 18 other people for over 250 dollars a month! Hope things have improved for him now!

      April 2020, they didn't know that back then. Wuhan Covid was a new thing and people feared the worst.

    Seems like a cool decent guy, not asking for a lot, still has a smile on his face which is always good too see in tough times.

    So much for the tiny house theory

      @andreasglaesel3811 2 роки тому +2

      Very true. Most of the "tiny house" supporters live in 2000 square foot condos, laughing their asses off people who actually have to live there

    The chaos unfolding in HK is an inner manifestation of societal decay (squalor living conditions and stagnating/declining standards of living for the general masses). This is the aftermath of nearly a century of imperialist rule that by design steadily transferred wealth and power to the hands of the few oligarch elite. Protestors who think HK's problems will go away if they become totally autonomous and independent from mainland China are naïve. They fail to understand the true historical precedents for their situation.
