Derp why does the rich wealthy elite refer to homeless people as criminalised squatters I find it insulting I’m not on about you or anybody else I mean in general
@@allanwallace7524 thats just a term used idk, it just refers to people who don't have a house and crash wherever they can. Homeless people and squatters are separate I guess
I stepped foot inside the kowloon Walled City in the mid 60's , I was in my mid teens. Knowing that there were no official governing authorities, needless to say , I didn't linger.
Many from rich countries say, I love Kowloon Walled City, I'd love to visit there, why they demolished it. But I am sure they can't live there longer than a half day, or they won't be able to come outside alive if it still exists.
there's a Unity asset pack for this, and its sample scene with an alley and a few apartments has been made into a gritty and detailed VRChat world. I wonder if anyone who's been there in real life has ever seen it.
not quite so, if it had been the hell you describe, the people wouldn't have gathered in numbers over there, even with their children. If anything, that unique occurence in modern history shows that, when you have an homogenic ethnicity of people, you can have a whole LOT of people living in the same area, without a degradation in condition of life. They were all chineese people, and willing to build businesses. But, if you pack in OTHER ethnicities in numbers in same places, you get riots, gangs, and geneally speaking a place no one wants to live in. Can you guess which ethnicty gives what results ? . . . . : )
@@greghauser742 i've heard stories from policemen that it wasn't as bad for the general public as people make it out... more of youth gangs messing with old people. the walled city was more of a place for people to sleep while during most of the day they spent their lives in the city
I really think Walled City was a very fascinating place, but the book itself is more a marketing collection of stories, rather than a book focused on life and residents themselves. For me, from the first page it was too obvious the book was focused on making money and not in telling the real life conditions
@@NunexxShadowZ i got my copy and without hesitation recommend it- you can order it here, and hopefully greg is still signing them! Just request it when ordering www.greggirardpictures.com/product/newly-released-book-city-of-darkness-revisited
i remember an american on tv saying he had to turn to drug dealing because of living in such appallingly small apartments in the projects - and then naming a size of apartment only the rich can afford in London
