Talk:Gecekondu

interesting
Just to let you know, Gecekondu generally refers to high rise, low cost and low quality apartment buildings that were built in little time with no regard for safety. Thats because land is quite expensive and there isnt much room available in the cities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Teccen (talk • contribs) on 14 April 2006.

question
Why exactly is Robert Neuwirth even mentioned let alone quoted in this article? The quote "half the residents of Istanbul - perhaps six million people - dwell in gecekondu homes" is absurdly hilarious for obvious reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.109.190 (talk) 00:42, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
