Nothing compares to US with other developed countries in terms of how shit it is at the bottom. The way people are trying to spin it to make it look like positive way to live is horrible too.
Living in a van if you're a a surfer or milling around the country is one thing, people working multiple jobs and raising kids in a van whilst having to drive to shops/gyms to find somewhere to wash is a miserable and demeaning existance.
The fact that thousands families are living like that in the richest country that there's ever been is an absolute national tragedy and a disgrace.

Downtown London is shocking, Paris even more. Very sad.
The question stemmed from scenes from post-2008 US of multi-generational families living in vans, and tent cities nowadays.
