My earlier characterization of propaganda false equivalencies holds true here.
US propaganda: “Russia, China, and North Korea are hellscapes filled with mindless automatons ruled over by evil, ruthless dictators with unlimited, supernatural powers who sit on ivory thrones all day and press the human misery button. Their people yearn for freedom and will greet us as liberators if we nuke their governments, because every citizen is a prisoner.”
Russian propaganda: “The US repeatedly meddles in the affairs of other nations and also they’re gay.”
North Korean propaganda: “We built a row of houses in this rural village and gave them to the farmers that live there.”
Chinese propaganda: “Look at this cute panda eating bamboo and rolling down a hill.”
Does North-Korea have a homeless crisis? More fuel imports from Russia might accelerate/fuel construction in North-Korea.
No, there is no homelessness crisis in North Korea.
Improvement of agricultural efficiency reduces work in rural areas and prompts internal migration from rural areas to cities, much like occurred throughout the west. Expanding cities as rural areas become less labour intensive due automation and mechanisation is a given. This doesn’t mean people didn’t have houses before, but that the houses were not longer in the correct locations for the labour due to the changes.
Aside from what other people said, they are also modernizing the housing, so people who lived in houses built decades ago are now in modern homes.
