Not that it is true that they are just tiny boxes... But even if it were true. That's the difference between China and the US isn't it?
One provides at least a "box" for everyone.
One provides a big home with a yard with a white picket fence around it for some, but leaves others living in the streets.
Do you really prefer the last one? So many people in the US would be happy with a box at this point.
Their comment was removed but if they're referring to the tiny boxes I think they are (known as coffin homes), that's actually in Hong Kong which is notably still very capitalist.
Not even just left to the streets. Many cities are death marching the homeless around, arresting, terrorizing, and stealing personal property of the homeless every step of the way.
