At least in a slum like a favela you have sturdy cinderblock walls, a door that locks, some sort of a latrine situation solved, running water, and electricity, rather than a nylon tent and some debris on the sidewalk with no plumbing.



That can't be allowed in this country; such structures violate zoning laws and are not up to code.


Plenty of people live in tents in favelas and Indian slums as well.
