People Are Sharing Examples Of ‘Urban Hell’ That Look Like A Dystopian Movie But Are Sadly Real (45 New Pics)

this is really on point - even down to the guys teeth being huge buildings

This one’s pretty cool!

I am so glad I live in a country that prioritises greenery.

Wow this is quite meaningful but the man gotta brush his teeth. He has like, 2002000 bacteria in his mouth, going to work and such

My home town no 1 on the list of urban hells, don't know if I should be proud or ashamed

We have nearly eliminated cage farming for chickens - now let's do the same for humans.

This is appalling.

This would be tragic as an animal kennel, never mind humans living here.

This is treating humans like some (wrongly) treat animals.

If you think this can't come to the USA ,UK, or your own country, think again. They are already here in the USA, albeit a bit nicer looking, but essentially the same thing - to maximize profits for the landowner. https://www.podshare.com/neighborhoods/san-francisco

Europe: your 3 y/o fridge is too energy-intensive, you have to change it. Meanwhile in India:

Poor birds.

But remember to shut of the light in your bathroom because THAT will save the planet

Obscene

Light like this confuses the birds and they wind up dying, that's what bothers me.

I can smell this photo

This would be a great project for prisoners...make picking up the trash part of their punishment. There is no excuse for this type of pollution!

What actually causes this? Is this an official rubbish dump? Or is it waste collected from a river?

awful

Is this a canal extra for waste or used this to be a street once?

This, here and other cities, is the result of the unchecked opioid epidemic. Over time it has morphed. Fentanyl (cheaper and stronger) replaced the pills and now xylazine is competing with fentanyl. Others, like those working but still unhoused, have been forced out by crazy high rent partially due to huge investment companies buying up rental property. And in both cases, it's clear the government gives zero f***s.

Live in phoenix. That is an OLD photo. The homeless know how to manage around the heat. Before anyone jumps on anything, have any of you actually talked to someone homeless on the streets or worked in out reach? Because I have. Some have actually said they don't want to follow rules of supportive housing or work for another person. They consider their situation to be their freedom.

Arizona's homeless problem has been exacerbated by investment corporations (often out of state) buying up apartments and houses, evicting tenants, then reselling/re-renting them for exorbitant prices. Legal/illegal immigration is adding additional pressure. Increase taxes to pay for housing? Sure - are you going to pay? Arizona's pay scale lags behind much of the nation and there's little support for public schools. Housing for the homeless is a low priority.

I find it odd that nobody keeps track of how many homeless die in these cities from the extreme heat or the extreme cold. Guess their numbers don't count. It might make the politicians in those cities look bad.

And Detroit pays people to move and live there.

Ok, but I thought it was a butt plug sorry.

These look like rain water collectors to me. The rain comes down the side of the "tree" and is caught in that bottom lip thing, then directed down through the "trunk"

This looks like a desert landscape where it may not be cost effective or sustainable to have real trees.

Looking at the environment these are going to melt pretty soon
