RE: Straight It Is!
At first, I was also surprised to see how the houses stood above the water, but when I read about it in detail, I realized that there were huge pillars installed under these houses, which allowed them to stand firmly in place.
Human ingenuity is impressive; in rich countries they have stilts on which to build cities. Whereas in countries of the global south, some cities are a collection of houseboats built together on banks of water.
It's exactly like that. In rich countries, all this seems possible, but in countries where life is very difficult, it is very difficult to build such houses and adopt such a lifestyle.
Sadly, this is the reality, and in some countries, like Bangladesh, water is encroaching on land that was once dry land, leaving people with nothing. This is also due to governments failing to act.
That's right
