Facing highways and public walkways you can see shanty areas with suspicious-looking "walls". These are built by the MMDA and painted to make shacks seem like they are not made from scrap material.
Best wall forward, facing Recto walkway between LRT1 and LRT2.
Does it not remind us of when certain leaders used to paint dead grass green when foreign dignitaries would arrive?
There is a fine line between operating within the broken-windows theory and being absurd and desperate.
