Residents of dilapidated Saigon buildings live in limbo

Bedeviled by compensation, title and relocation bottlenecks, thousands live in precarious conditions in crumbling Saigon complexes, not knowing when their lot will improve.
Nguyen Thi Thanh, 54, wears a helmet every time she leaves her house.
She is not preparing for road traffic. She is afraid that chunks of the ceiling along the corridors could fall off any time.
Thanh lives in the Truc Giang residential quarters in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 4, a complex built before 1975.
These days, the ceiling along corridors of most blocks has peeled off, revealing rusted, dark brown metal bars. There are cracks everywhere. Electric wires and cables are intricately wound and the electric boxes badly damaged.
