It doesn't impair your ability to theorise. It does impair your ability to appreciate subjective experience.

Look upon those places as being culturally enriched.

I do. I learned a great deal about how people from other cultures cope with adversity and can live happy lives whilst having very little by way of personal possessions. I have known people who live in spaces smaller than most of our garden sheds. No windows, sleep on the floor, no running water, cooking over twigs outside, bathing in the river, toileting in the woods. Whose primary task every day was to find enough food. But happy.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

The accommodation provided for seasonal workers in the UK would be regarded as the Ritz by those I am talking about! Who live many thousands of miles from here.

Concepts such as legal protection for tenants, or landlords, are unknown. Fail to pay, you get physically evicted. Resist and you might be shot. Most though were squatting on land of uncertain ownership, or where flooding is frequent. Just in roughly constructed shelters which if destroyed by wind or water could be rebuilt, often by gathering up the materials and starting again. Communities build and work together, providing shelter if any survived until things were rebuilt.

They had nothing of monitory value but a great deal of social value.
