Meanwhile, some people in the Philipines are living in tents at the Manila landfill. Tents made out of trash. Anyone else feel like they’ve been taking crazy pills the last 20 years?

How about some of those taxpayer paid for housing developments on Indian Reservations in the West? I know some that are less than 20 years old and have been rendered uninhabitable by the previous inhabitants. Wakpala, South Dakota and Rocky Boy, Montana are two I am very familiar with.
Wards of the government are not held accountable for anything.

Last time I went out with a slum lord friend of mine, the people could get away with anything, get free lawyers. Could never get kicked out, practically, even though no one in their right mind would do anything they did. Then some had better tv’s, etc, than I had. I wonder if today the definition of poor in the US is not having at least two 50 inch tv’s. At the very least, the definition of poor in the US is not like it is in most other countries where they are still washing their clothes in a stream and drying them on bushes. These poor, have houses, hot and cold running water, heat, air conditioning, washers and dryers, more than one bathroom, etc.

Right. Because housing in Brazil and these other UN countries is SO AWESOME.

With the bad report (even if every slum was the Taj, it’d still be a bad report), wouldn’t it be funny if we said “Oooh, yeah, our housing is bad. We should spend more to fix that. So we’ll stop funding the UN and put that money to better use. Thanks for the heads-up, guys!”
