Like damn yeah they cant solve the problem oc everyone wanting to congregate.. wish i had a fucki g countryside home to return to if i absolutely needed it.
Not trying to argue, just trying to learn more about something I don't have experience with.
Obviously this is a bad situation, and shows that there should be more housing available in the cities and/or more jobs available in the country, but isn't this significantly different than being homeless in other countries? If the homeless people have the option of moving out to the countryside, doesn't that at least put a lower limit on their living conditions and ability to get needed services? In other countries, if the situation for homeless people worsens due to police crackdowns, austerity, etc. they're just screwed. I'm sure there could be problems with the living situation in the country, but doesn't the fact that people are making a choice show that they are at least able to get by?
For real. Every time I hear something bad about China, I learn that that we only really know about that bad thing because the party isn't fixing the problem fast enough as compared to everywhere in the West where the problem is being actively exploited and made worse.

This is a good point, I wonder how accessible the transit is in China, especially in cities?
