Urban planning ni gonjwa la taifa. The fact that there are people in office getting paid but they do absolutely nothing makes me sick to my stomach! Some People do build impressive homes, but barabara ni za vumbi, sewerage systems ni nonexistent, no parks or gardens, no community centers; essentially, suburban Tanzania is VERY Ghetto! Ni aibu! Pia watu wanajenga mahali popote wanapotaka, angalia slums za Mwanza, I’m sure those hills look like the favelas of Rio de Jeneiro.
Masaki being “the best-planned part of Dar” shows Tanzania’s failure. Masaki was a predominantly European suburb during colonial times, and Westerners love organization and aesthetics. So you can see just how well-planned the Msasani peninsula is. But the rest of the city is simply in shambles! Even other affluent areas, such as Mbezi Beach are not as carefully planned and maintained as Msasani! Does this mean that locals don’t deserve to live in well-planned neighborhoods? You tell me! Ni aibu kuwa sehemu wanayokaa foreigners wengi ndio bora Zaidi kuliko sehemu yoyote wanayoishi locals Dar es salaam.
