Did anybody watch the BBC 10 O’ Clock News last night? I was particularly interested in the report from Sao Paulo in Brazil. From the hill top slum “The view out is fabulous, the view in not so much”. Whilst it is a good idea to provide decent, cheap housing for the poor I suspect that it has nothing to do with improving the lot of the poor. And more to do with clearing the slum area and relocating the poor elsewhere, to build expensive apartment blocks so that only the rich can then be able to afford the view out from the hilltop!
