Really odd light in night sky in Caracus - it looks like a cross

I glanced up to the screen while this video played - I was doing other work - and I noticed that it looked like a floating cross in the night sky

IDK how to go to the exact time - but look at 13:12


To me that looks like a floating cross

It's a lit-up cross on the mountain over the city.

Next!

Can you find a link for that? I did a search and nothing comes up for it, the closest I found for a light cross on a mountain was in Costa Rica

Edit - never mind - I found it, though it wasn't easy at all. Naiguata Cross - the "Cruz de Navidad"

Pretty impressive how that homeless shelter came to exist. Thirty bucks a month per family for water and electricity and rules to stay there. That guy who built it actually did a good thing for these people upon his death.

Yeah, they probably thought they had it rough 10+ years ago, but now by comparison to other people in the country, it's probably not so different than the rest!

This was all before the problems got bad down there though. I'd be interested to know how it is doing now.

The video is shot in Caracas so I'm guessing....

It also has to make you wonder why large "apartment" houses (subsidized housing/projects) in cities can't don't work for long. It seems they all deteriorate pretty quickly in the States and even England/London. I don't think these people had much of an education and they probably didn't get free food and such like welfare recipients, or free/subsidized electricity & utilities like those in the projects.

Why can't people in the States do things like this? What's the difference?

I am sure that there are old factories and old buildings the homeless could live in. They could work symbiotically like these people did. Here, liability is a concern, the people have to secure the property even though it is not in very good shape or they could get sued and lose everything if someone gets hurt in it.
