Hello,Hiveans.. here is my second post.
Have you ever been in a situation where you are pushed aside because you aren't qualified financially to enter a Club House, Party?
Have you been in a situation where you had to return some groceries because you couldn't pay for all?
So, on my way to work this morning I decided to take this photographs. Every other day I have always played a story in my head about the buildings and here is an opportunity to share this.
"The Widening Gap". It's a story of two buildings signifying two classes; The Rich and the Poor.
While the Rich lives in the exclusive charlets, the poor scramble for bed space in the low cost hostels.
Here is the Exclusive and well furnished Charlet for the rich. It's a classy building having single rooms for comfort. It goes with a high price and of course Electricity and water is guaranteed 24/7
But at the other side of the road is the Hostel
Here, occupants pay very less amount for a space. Most times, stewards, servants or maids of the rich in the Charlet are booked into the hostel (Class). Nothing here is guaranteed. You have to struggle each morning to have your bath. And in your absense, something most be left on your bed space to signify that you are still an occupant, else, someone else will take over.
I present to you today Two Worlds...the very reason for our daily "hustles". You want to make money to live in the Charlet or live in the Hostels if you don't.
So I started with two questions, will like your responses if you have had an experience on it.
However, Can This Ever Change?
Lets talk about ways to change this narrative.
The Rich in the Charlet.
The Poor in the Hostel

Do you have an idea How much exactly it cost to live in the Charlet?
Cost of living alone is getting high, housing has tripped over time and the common man just needs to hustle to survive.
But Hive is quite promising.
Well done.
Thanks for your insight on this topic. The high cost of living should also be responsible for reason why many are homeless; those living in Hostels are even better than this category. The Homeless sleep just anywhere night meets them. Sure thing you have proffered Hive as a solution. Thanks once again for your contribution
Frankly, this gap between the rich and the poor can never change because the rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer. In the world, there are about 20% wealthy people and the other 80% work for these people. The only way to bridge this gap would be to be among this 20%. The question is Can they? are they ready to make sacrifices and do what it takes? sadly, most times the answer is no.
Wow how did I miss this post, must have been carried away by the write up that I forgot to appreciate your sincerity.
Truth cost of living (despite the truth of the existence of class) should not be this high.
Most are even homeless. Sacrifice! Most have offered countless sacrifices, yet no change.
Thanks for your input @deraaa
