One thing that stands out to me the the total lack of water tanks on the roofs.
Usually in Asian countries, the water pressure is too low to flow higher than one or two stories at best so water is pumped up to rooftop tanks on apartment buildings and then the units just get their water through gravity. I suspect there is no running water at all in these units.
Interesting. You are probably right. I hear that the apartment on the far right of the photo is free now. They executed the guy for watching the Brady Bunch on TV after “lights out”.
