In this video:
With rents for even the smallest quarters exceeding the equivalent of $1000 monthly, a relatively large number of working class people in Asia’s largest cities have become, essentially, homeless. Rather than being completely destitute, as many homeless are, a not inconsiderable number of these individuals earn enough to otherwise support themselves outside of being able to afford housing. To solve the problem of lack of funds for more traditional accommodations, many have turned to 24-hour establishments for a place to spend the night and catch a few Zs, including, in particular, McDonald’s and Manga cafes.
