“Nobody cares about us,” said Dolgor Dashnyam. “We don’t exist.” After being laid off from a job in farming, Dolgor makes about $3 a day. Because she hasn’t been able to get government-subsidized housing, she lives under this roof made of mattresses — photographed by @bdentonphoto — and spends her days rummaging for scrap metal. The 55-year-old was once an ambitious college grad; she dreamed of owning a farm and getting rich. But a scarcity of affordable housing has pushed her and thousands of others to the fringes of #UlanBator, Mongolia’s capital, where they struggle for basic necessities. Ulan Bator was never designed to house more than a few hundred thousand residents. Now the city of 1.4 million is on course to expand indefinitely. City officials said this year that Ulan Bator would not accept any more rural migrants. And the government has cautioned against building homes in some areas because of the dangers of overcrowding. Still, many Mongolians are defiant. On craggy hillsides and rocky plains, they set up makeshift shacks and gers, or yurts. “Of course, we have many problems here,” said Gandavaa Mandakh, 38, a former herder from southern Mongolia who now works as a taxi driver.
