It is true, poor people in those places really don't need much. You can live, eat grow for almost nothing. People can have happy lives without much money.

- magic_beans 10y agoIt's even true in city outskirts (e.g. the homeless encampments around San Francisco, Skid Row in LA).
- vkou 10y agoThe thing about homeless encampments is that (frequency depends on the city) every few months/years, the police raid them, evict the residents, and steal/burn everything that the residents can't carry out. The mayor claps his hands, makes a press release about how great it is that we've finally cleaned up this den of filth/violence/drug abuse, while the homeless get to sleep under bridges for a few months.
