China: Thousands of air raid shelter residents evicted


Unfortunately, a lack of affordable housing in China has led to thousands of migrant workers from the countryside to make their homes underneath the streets. Currently, 7,000 people are living underground in these shelters; however, they will soon be evicted due to Bejing's plans to redevelop the spaces; it is hard to say where these people will resort to living. Many people are deeply saddened by the eviction of the innocent people and feel that it is cruel to displace them from the "homes" that they have created.

  1. This is big decision that Bejing China has to make, to take 7,000 people and force them out of their homes they created for themselves. A house for someone is their safe zone, and where everlasting memories are created. Since these people are unable to afford housing to begin with where are they going to go when they are evicted? 7,000 people is a good amount, China should think more about the people in this situation.
