Houses for the poor

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Basically they're all over. However, most of us know that some of those plots are worth 500 000usd+. Sure, the roads are shit, electricity voltage unstable and they've got a dirty toilet, but in many ways it's funny as despite outward appearances to the average tourist, many of the people living in such "squalid housing" are in fact more asset-rich than the average rural Frenchman, Australian etc. It's quite mind-boggling when you think about it.
This.
I may add, sometime "squalid housing" also have a $100k+ car inside.
