The Kavernacle | The DYSTOPIAN Rise of Coffin Homes (we live in hell) @TheKavernacle | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 9 hours ago
The hell that is modern capitalism has given us many lovely problems - but one of the oldest is urbanisation creating crowding living spaces which workers are forced to cram in to as most of the jobs are located in city centres. While the slums of London, Manchester and New York have pretty much ended, a new problem is arising - and that's tiny apartments or in parts of Asia - the 'coffin home'.
Stagnating wages, cuts to social housing, lack of rent regulation have all led to Landlords getting away with dividing their properties into smaller spaces and charging more. Although Coffin Homes might be something we see in Hong Kong and Malaysia - how long until we see them in New York, Madrid and London?
