That had to be a lively 5 years. Out of curiosity, is it the risk of random street violence/robbery or is it more organized than that, trespassing on people's turf and the like?
I think I read about some of that, Al Jazeera had some stuff about it after that one structure burnt and killed all those people. Here it's more shantytowns and tent encampments near highways and such, which can be sketchy but not quite to that degree I suspect.
It was and the risks were both random and organised. The buildings I showed above were all hijacked. Not squatters because sadly, they paid to live in those shitholes, just not to the actual owners of those buildings.
The recent story you read in Al Jazeera was especially bad because it had once been a shelter belonging to the city. Instead of retaking control from the hijackers, they wasted limited budget money on building a brand-new community centre on land they took away from a viable community project. Corrupt construction relationships... I'm still angry about that: one woman's life-work ruined, people in the hood going hungry and over 70 burned to death down the road
