You should have seen that place in the late 70s early 80s…to die for. Ive gota family pic bana of us guys in fleyas afros leather jackets and blocks…noma all the dudes had buttoned their shirts to just below the chest ma chest hair nje na walrus moustaches halafu ka opel mpya hapo kwa compound.
Buru is gone in its current state. Just ask tenants wa before the 90s.

Kitambo hizo nyumba were regarded as very upscale.
Newer and better estates came up, leaving the likes of Buru, South B, and South C in the dust.
The same will happen to other upper middle class neighborhoods today.
Lately nimeona many mansions especially in Kijani Ridge and other new upcoming developments kama Daykio, that would put many houses in Runda and Karen to shame.

Bonobos have no maintenance culture. They imagine building the initial structure is the end of the job. That’s why we talk of building houses so we stop paying rent. Only a bonobo would think that way. In countries with maintenance culture they would spend so much on renovations and repairs that it would be like renting still

Lack of control and maintenance especially 1,2 and 3. Everyone started building additional additional units in the back and subletting them . These started an influx of people to Buru with no planning for sewer, garbage etc. Also all the bars that came up. City council lead lax on maintenance, kiosks, garages and all sort of unregulated businesses came up and the place now looks like Jericho; was there last year and couldn’t believe how the place looked.

It is evolution in housing. In the 60s kina 1 roomed jericho were the in thing after africans moved from mud huts in the villages. Then came 2&3bdrm buruburu and south b & c. Then kina loresho etc and now people can build their dream modern homes huko daykio, mushroom etc.

Kuna time nikiishi Umoja nishawahi ambia some buddies who were staying in buru that wanaishi kwa slum karibu nipigwe mob justice. Hio time vibanda na extensions zilikuwa zimeanza kujitokeza.

Before 8pm it’s very secure, but from 8.01pm.. it’s just as insecure as rongai. Meanwhile, I’m sitting outside my verandah at 3.37AM without thinking about thieves like you.

Unaishi Umoja and you somehow have the temerity to call Buruburu a slum🙄. And someone will wonder how come you are only good at selling chang’aa in Busia.

Yiu are wrong guys. Hizo extensions hazikuwa rentals initially zilikuwa za ku accomodate extended family wale wamekuja kutoka ocha ku hustle nairobi na pia zilikuwa za ‘esimba’ za sons that had hit 18 then eventually ndio watu waka anza as rentals and after relatives and sons had vacated ndio zikawa rentals.
Hazo early years compounds zilikuwa na trees na well manicured lawns then as shagzmodoz started trouping in ndio pole pole watu waka anza kupanda maindi kwa compounds and chickens started roaming on tha asphalt…baaaas na hivyo ndio extensions zikaanza.
