When is a home not there? Camohouses
So I go walking down by the river fairly often. One afternoon the guy ahead of me on the trail suddenly disappeared. I checked to see where he went but couldn't make out how he could have vanished so quickly.
If you look closely, you can see a hut kind of merged into the surrounding greenery. In fact there's a whole row of huts! And people live there...
The official stance on homelessness in Taiwan is that it's very low. Altho I've tried to find statistics I haven't found anything super specific in English- some articles cite between 5000-20,000 in the Greater Taipei Area. Truthfully I've seen several people sleeping on the streets looking very reminiscent of San Francisco and Berkeley. But somehow I have a feeling that some people aren't being counted coz they've found themselves an alternative that doesn't rely on charity or available aid.
