just go visit some poor or homeless people in the US and Europe and you will see.
I lived in japan for a couple of decades and became friends with many homeless people there, because they look after all the stray cats in the city and i'm a vet. And once they started trusting me , they opened the doors of they cardboard houses to me and after removing my shoes and entering (every homeless takes his shoes off before entering his cardboard house) i was not only impressed by how spotless it was inside but also by the comfort they had . They used everything they could get their hand on. And because many of those homeless came from very different professional background and all shared their knowledge , i found that most of the homeless had a generator for electricity, some running on gasoline , some using solar panels (hundreds if not thousands of them collected from calculator and other devices they found in the trash) , the homeless had free electricity , heating systems fr cooking and keeping warn in winter , many of them had a hacked mobile phone, a computer and some of even for some of them internet access and they also had washing machine that they shared and used to keep clean . And all of this inside a cardboard house which from the outside looked like any house in a favela, but from the inside had a level of comfort and a standard that many people living in regular houses do not have .
