By Plicatus EN in Homelessness & Slums 891 views 16th January 2020 Video Duration: 00:06:26

It looked semi-permanent, but more importantly, had solar panels on it. I thought this was very different than the homeless I encountered in my former city of Vancouver, Canada, so I started to investigate homelessness in Japan.
