The defence by some of their unnoticeable beauty seemed strained. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Also, progress on repair and rehabilitation of eastern housing had been slow. The redesign of the city centre seemed to be a western suburb priority which ignored the poverty and misery of living conditions on the east. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
