It's sad and homeless people will adapt to the space they find. I do know that the third photograph is old , I can find it on the Internet dated back to an article in The Sun newspaper 25thMay 2011. recent days the whole china paying the attn to the poor people who living in the sanitary sewer in china so that news paper issued the photo to tell the people even US has the same people i just want to is it true or not bcs i heard that the house in America is cheap The average price for a single family home in the U.S. is $264,000. See here: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/consumerawareness/a/avghomeprice04.htm That's cheaper than Canada, I believe, but it's hardly a bargain. Yes, there ARE homeless people in the U.S, same as everywhere. I've never heard of anyone living in a sewer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the money you'd spend on a house and buy silver or gold..... when the bubble bursts the economy there will do about the same as ours did and the price of silver and gold will go up and you might be able to pay cash for it.

Guest Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Its real. People do live in the storm drain tunnels under Las Vegas. There are a couple of documentaries/new stories about them. The tunnels are storm drains, though, not sanitary sewers. The storm drains are for rainwater and flood control. Las Vegas is a desert city and rain is pretty scarce most of the time so the tunnels offer refuge from the heat during the summer and cold in winter. The only drawback is when it rains -- the tunnels can flood fast, so fast you might not be able to get out and be swept away because when it rains in the desert, it rains hard.

I ask because some of the homeless we have here are there because they want to be. We have built housing for homeless people in our city in the past, but it was not used. Illegal drug use is not allowed there. For a while a Christian organization ran it and people were not allowed to sleep together if they were not legally married. These were total falures and closed for non use. We still have facilities run by a local Christian mission for the homeless. It has areas for families as well as women and for men. It is not full and our temperatures have been near 0 degrees F. I saw a homeless couple walk through our neigborhood recently, probably to beg food at a nearby church. Often our drug rehabilatation is free. Here people live like that because they are criminals and don't wish to abide by our civil law or to receive God's grace. They want to live like that. It is indeed sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
