Rich and Poor!

Living in cramped quarters in Dharavi.

I saw two headline stories today.

Rich people are moving out of New York City in search of homes in small towns. They prefer homes in counties with fewer than 10,000 residents. This is, of course prompted by the tremendous loss of life in NYC.

The other headline was on the front page of today’s New York Times. The photo and story is about the incredible, inescapable density of the people who live in the slums of Mumbai, India. They do not have the financial means of escaping to a less dense location.

So, there you have it!

It’s the never ending story of those who live lives of privilege with many options available and those who live desperately day to day with no alternatives.

Is there something you can do about this unfair situation in your town?

If not today, when?
