When these people move to post-prehistoric type living will someone please nudge me so I can congratulate China on finally ending their cave dwelling days? Thanks!

"A cave with three bedrooms and a bathroom might sell for $46,000, the Times reported"

Sounds ludicrous until you realize $46K in Vancouver won't even get someone to flip over their recycle box and let you live under it.

On the Canary Islands there are plenty of people living in caves. They are nice and cool in the summer and better isolated in winter than regular houses. There's even a rather famous restaurant in such a cave complex. So dependant on climate in their respective region some of those 30 million chinese might be rather lucky.


edit> damn, they are living in caves, not cages...

I grew up poor in charleston sc, and I have spent a life making a home wherever I find myself. I have fond memories of a book I read as a kid about a man who left civilization to live near a pond. With years spent in Afghanistan, cave dwelling can be a great home. Are we supposed to feel bad for them? They seem happy.
