It has public bathroom, and grocery stalls. 

There were problems such as: Insecurity as Peepers everywhere, Not enough space at home, Kids were asked to play outside the room, No separated room  changing clothes behind the curtain only, No private toilet, No pipe water or warm water supply, Unstable electricity supply]]> 2020-10-08 03:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pytcheong2/h6aeahgrx8gvtchv/wish/812550976 https://padlet.com/pytcheong2/h6aeahgrx8gvtchv/wish/812554711 The resettlement buildings were small cramped buildings that had shared toilets and showers but were safe and had low renting costs.
