The city is extremely cluttered, with a network of streets that is far from uniform. Streets can instantly shrink from being four lane boulevards to one lane alleys and then back again, due to the resistance of local residents to move and make way for road projects. The city also had a shantytown on the outskirts of the city, until it was dismantled in 2004 and the residents moved. Still, most returned and the city is overrun by squatters and homeless(some 10,000).
