An interesting thing I noticed while traveling in Central America is that in the poorest of the poor places on earth, there is no such thing as homelessness really. Anybody can just build a shack anywhere and have some amount of shelter and a place to call home. It’s not what you would call a ‘home’ in the us, but it’s more dignified that sleeping on a street corner in LA.
