The streets of the North District were already packed at the first glimmer of dawn; people hurried to the city center or other districts during the weekdays. Due to cheap housing prices and low rental costs, this place is the best choice for many migrants from the north. Compared to living in a basement with little sunlight for the same price in the city, some people still opt for the farther, cheaper, and better-lit rooms, hence why the North District's synonym for slum is just 'cheap'.
The area accessible by car is small. Of course, just because the North District is called a slum doesn't mean it's truly poor; what can be seen is one side, while on the other end, there exist areas that don't fit this label. Walking into a building that looks ordinary on the outside, one might find the inside exceptionally luxurious. People always believe what they see on the outside and overlook the intrinsic value inside.
