A resident of a “coffin” home smokes in the corridor of a unit divided into upper and lower bunk-style compartments, housing about 20 people, in Hong Kong, China, July 10, 2024. These windowless spaces are still more cramped and just big enough, at 15 sq ft (1.4 sq m) to 18 sq ft (1.7 sq m), for people to sleep in and store a few personal items. But lack of ventilation forces them to leave open the small sliding doors to their “coffin” homes, denying them any vestiges of privacy. REUTERS/Tyrone Siu
