How to use squalor in a sentence?

1. Rob Reynolds:

   It's really kind of disgusting to see, when you see people who raise their right hand to serve our country sleeping and dying on the street, and you have one of the most elite private schools in the country charging $ 40,000 per year per student, and they have immaculate amenities and the veterans are living in squalor, it just doesn't make any sense.

2. Herman Mashaba:

   It boggles the mind that we can live in such a filthy city when we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the world, people still live in squalor 21 years into our democracy.
