CNN reporter, Eunice Yoon reports that hard times in Hong Kong force some to live in cages, but even those accommodations aren't cheap.

Nineteen people are sharing a 625 sq. foot apartment. They all share the same kitchen, bathroom, and sleep on wooden planks.
The bedding consist of the upper and lower decks. The upper deck, they pay about 100 USD and the lower deck 150 USD because at the lower deck you can stand upright which is why they charge more. In addition, some of the residents have live in the cage apartment for years due to the recession or have lost their job.

That's pretty pricey to be living in a shack! Seeing stuff like that makes me realize how lucky I am.

sounds like a concentration camp! In Germany i visited one camp in Dakow and they had the prisoners there living in the same conditions - wooden planks, 50+ people living in the same small room. It was terrible to imagine and now even worse to hear that people are imposing this life on themselves to survive during this downturn....
