Contrary to the name, this is a decently fertile area.  Rooms by default are 12 x 12, but with approval from the council, for structural integrity checks, a second room can be carved in per standard into the back stone, allowing homes to be as large as 12 x 24 per story, up to two stories, for a single unit, or roughly the size of a modern one bedroom apartment. Standard structure makes reinforcement pillars. This size factor improves due to the lack of kitchens and toilets cramped into the space, which will be addressed below.

Much of first few stories have been converted to store fronts as a public market and resources of clinics, with the second floor being living quarters.  Large families with no markets keep a single structure, while ones with markets tend to claim a second home at minimal cost as is determined necessary by the Trademaster.  (Kitchen, Washrooms discussed elsewhere.)

Nine 8 x 8 lifts are available around the support pillar, 10x10 with structure included.  The pillar abodes are 7 feet wide and thirty feet deep with a 6.5 foot ceiling, with solid 10 foot stations of walls between them as support, still leaving a tremendously dense central pillar of support with essential out-ring support to maintain the bridges that cross to the outter walls without stressing the pillar. The central pillar and the bridges that extend from it are havens of vertical farming processes for hanging and vined plants making the area a natural weeping willow of berry-type fruits and vegetables with incredible volume.  Ground level open land is heterotrophic sugar grass looking like candy canes.  

Most byways from here reach for the Unahzaal, meaning the Unending.
