A rental advertisement for “coffin” homes hangs on the gate of a building in Hong Kong, China, August 8, 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
