History

This project was ready for distribution by the Municipal Office in Kabul and the Afghanistan Central Council of Trade Unions in 1983. The project was for sale just to the Afghan government poor workers and employees. The price of each 180 m2 was 2.5 US dollars (5200 Afghanis). In 1983, it was just a hostile patch of desert but was then turned into a new town. Today, it is covered by countless recently constructed mud-brick houses, interspersed with the private villas of venturesome repatriates. As of 2019, the area has relatively good infrastructure and sought-after by middle-class residents, although it is somewhat secluded from downtown Kabul. It is mainly populated by ethnic Pashtuns from the provinces east of Kabul.[1]

Services

Most informal residents did not have electricity until 2008. Water supply is provided to the new developments but others access underground water by a pump or by other methods.

gollark: It would be neat if they were cryptographically signed too, but it turns out I have no idea what actual algorithm the potatOS ECC library is implementing, oops.
gollark: So, progress on the potatoupdates™ system, I now have a script generating manifest files which are deterministically generated from the exact contents of a PotatOS version™.
gollark: > multiprocessing.pool objects have internal resources that need to be properly managed (like any other resource) by using the pool as a context manager or by calling close() and terminate() manually. Failure to do this can lead to the process hanging on finalization.> Note that is not correct to rely on the garbage colletor to destroy the pool as CPython does not assure that the finalizer of the pool will be called (see object.__del__() for more information).Great abstraction there, Python. Really great.
gollark: No, I mean I was reading from underneath the line it highlighted, which was the POST documentation.
