[[File:Luanda, Angola - High rises and slums.jpg|thumb|A small section of one of the largest slums in San Lina]] | |||
San Lina has the lowest standard of living of any capital city on Sarpedon with around 55% of the population in the city living below the poverty line while income inequality remains some of the highest in the world. Slums and massive shanty towns are a large source of housing in San Lina with different shanty towns housing tens of thousands of people with the largest one in central San Lina estimated to have as many as 2 million residence living in it. There is often a lack of basic necessities in these areas with most lacking electricity and running water however the government has introduced programs to work with local communities to try and fix these shortages in the slums. Healthcare is also something severely lacking with there often being shortages of medicine, unsanitary and overcrowded conditions in hospitals, and long waiting lists, healthcare in San Lina is run entirely by the government and is supposedly free though many times patients have reported needing to bribe doctors to get prescriptions, private healthcare is banned by the Puertegan constitution which gives the government the sole right to provide healthcare. Average life expectancy in San Lina is 67 years old 5 years under the national average with the primary reasons attributed to this low expectancy being the heavy amount of pollution in the city and the high crime rate. | |||
