? Given how unsatisfactory life is for so many in society, the follow-up question is,
how much room was there for Mandela to maneuver
? South Africa now lurches from crisis to crisis, and so many of us are tempted to remember the Mandela years – especially the first democratic government – as fundamentally different from the crony-capitalist, corruption-riddled, brutally-securitised, eco-destructive and anti-egalitarian regime we suffer now.

Two villages of tiny homes are planned in Philadelphia after a series of protest encampments elevated concerns about homelessness in the city, according to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The two villages are still in the planning stages. One in Northeast Philadelphia is planned as transitional housing with on-site homeless services, and is expected to include between 12 and 24 small “pods,” 120 square feet each, with heat and electricity but no water or bathrooms, relying instead on a central kitchen, bathroom, and laundry shared among residents, according to the report. The other, in West Philadelphia, will include 24 permanent homes of 400 square feet each with utilities, bathrooms, and kitchens, the report says. The two villages are expected to cost $500,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, according to the story.
