In America, we have the Groundhog, apparently they do things different in Poland:

In an unnatural place to live like that -34..the only way a person can be homeless is through others enabling them. Maybe we should stop making homeless living so uhh successful.

I understand what you mean in regards to some of them. There are plenty of homeless folks that could apply to and I don't play the violin for them.

My sister was adopted from Irkutsk and its just a different world there. They don't have cushy government safety nets like the US does. There are people that get pushed into the streets for a lot of different reasons and it can be damn hard to get out once you've lost it all.
The stories she has told over the years are gut wrenching man...

Good eye. I missed that.
It is a rather unusual design.
