Extreme Rich Poor Divides [Photos]

When you think about the divide between the rich and poor, your first thought might be the differences in living standards between people in developed vs. developing countries. You may not jump to think about the differences within a single country or even a single city. This blog post from Deputy Dog shows several striking examples of this in Sao Paolo, Brazil; Caracas, Venezuela and Mumbai, India

Here is an example, though not as stark, in Cap Haitien, Haiti. Labadie Beach is roughly 3.5 milies away from the Shada neighborhood.
