Economic downturn has resulted in many Americans 'reduced' to a very low-cost long-lived, "the most basic hotel", but only with the least cost for a roof and a bed shelter.London "The Independent" (The Independent) published on 3 sites to experience a British photographer in the United States to live coverage of this hotel, to say the "hotel home" story.
Reported that the nation's major cities have such a hotel, the room tiny, paper thin walls, old carpets, curtains dirty, mottled paint, sheets of nylon system.Its biggest feature is not as tenants every three hotels, two days for a change, and are long-term residents.Absolutely can not be called comfortable room, guest homeless regarded it arranged with taste, like put on the family photo album, computer, teapot.Advantage is that some hotels charge per week $ 150, equivalent to only spend a few hundred dollars a month rent.
Cheap hotels have long to live as self-rule, and the formation of a particular culture.Most hotel guests are not allowed to drugs, but alcohol can; must pay the rent on time; not occupy all shared bathroom and toilet; every 28 days, tenants must move out to the clearance room, and then re-check (so is consistent with the hotel's license requirements); no room service, guests own bed, own washing sheets.
Everyone here has their own residents bitterness, some from broken homes, some because of the economic downturn and the aftermath of a bad fate, seem to have been laid off.
But to make this British photographer moved, seemingly indifferent residents in essence, one still has a sense of community.They take care of neighborhood kids, help each other.Such living conditions can not be called happy, but everyone better in the future with hope, still believe the "American dream."
