Wow, do you have pictures or videos? how do you think, can WE improve their situation, politically, technically and technologically?

Such sad irony, that a tower build for Banks, that theoretically exist to serve people, now actually and really serves people, directly. Sad, because those banks and the politicians running that government were the cause for their pain.

Unfortunately I hear about a lot of corruption and that it's normality in Brazil from a friend who moved from Norway to Brazil. And I with my idealogical green glasses would not live for long, if I were to protest against the Government for hot-pots like the Rainforest, according to him and other Brazillians.

Yes, lots of photos and videos. We are working on a 15 min story for TV in Australia.

Talking with the Caracas locals (not living in the tower) it is seen as a bit of an embarrassment. The government there has no good solution for housing, so the people took it into their own hands.

Some of the apartments are amazing. $1 million+ views but without proper fitouts or running water.
