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.

In lots of places, the poor have a right to exchange comfort, safety, dignity, etc. for other things they value more. In USA, they don't have that right. The artificial constraints that we all face to some extent, hit the poor the hardest.

Then earthquake or something similar comes and those shanty towns burry their occupants. Problem solved.
