@wavindani..good point. The role of Government is to provide leadership for such pooling of resources to take place, mostly through tax payment.
Its actually illegal to construct anything outside the boundaries of your plot. You need a licence for that. The councillors are supposed to be the political bridge to allow for such works to be done but there seems to be a disconnect somewhere. Such slumscrapers cost on average 30 to 40m to construct. The infrastructure below per plot costs less than 1% of the 30m but there is no one to provide the leadership for the local authority byelaws to be changed to allow this.
