1. It is populated primary by poor people.

2. It is often crowded and hot.

3. It is chronically underfunded.

4. It is dominated by a heavy bureaucracy.

6. It is regulated by rules that are badly understood by many of its citizens.

7. It witnesses extra-legal commerce on a daily basis.

8. It is saddled with obsolete technology.

9. It serves as the petri dish for new “innovations” that are promulgated by the ruling minority.
