Ugly Ass Places Exist

Text on the meme

I don't understand how ugly ass places even exist do people never look around, say DAMN I live in a shithole, and try to advocate for like organizing or something to make it better? Why or why not

What it means

A hazy photograph shows a sprawling, densely packed settlement covering steep, barren hills. The caption sarcastically wonders why residents do not recognize that they live in an ugly “shithole” and organize to improve it, ending with the deliberately casual “Why or why not.”
