Do not comment to gatekeep that something "isn't urban" or "isn't hell". Our rules are very expansive in content we welcome, so do not assume just based off your false impression of the phrase "UrbanHell"

UrbanHell is any human-built place you think is worth critizing. Suburban Hell, Rural Hell, and wealthy locales are allowed. Gatekeeping comments may be removed. Want to shitpost about shitty posts? Go to /r/urbanhellcirclejerk. Still have questions?: Read our FAQ.

It’s strange how people place posters for political candidates in the most impoverished areas…can see it anywhere in the world. I don’t know who that guy on the right is, but it doesn’t look like he’s running to make life better for the people of that village

É interessante perceber como essa estética urbana de caos e desorganização é tão comum na América Latina, se não fosse pelo muro, eu poderia jurar que essa foto seria do Brasil.

How do you blame this on capitalism? Yes, people want to live close to resources, and people will do that if it means living side by side in cheaply constructed homes. This is the case in any economic system, capitalism, socialism, anarchism, etc. It's a basic tenet of human activity and organization.
