Working folk reality
There is no doubt that Belize City has a real divide between the wealthy and the working class.
This is a typical home for working folk in Belize City. The modest home and lot is surrounded by a white picket fence in need of maintenance and paint, The large second storey balcony is not typical; it offers more veranda space that most homes. The home is also larger than many I saw as we drove through Belize City.
I wonder if some of the new apartment buildings are trying to emulate this outdoor space with spacious balconies/terraces in their plans.
Note the decorative wrought-iron metal grills on the second story windows as though they are added security features. Also note the deferred maintenance of exterior painting.
These architectural images were captured from inside a tour bus so images may include soft reflections from the bus interior.

Happy Fence Friday with a subtle reality check.
