Community and Housing Conditions in RW 012
📌 The area, RW 012 in Tanah Tinggi, has 1,400 households (KK) totaling 2,500 residents.
🏠 Housing conditions are extremely dense, with some single houses accommodating 3 to 4 KK or up to 13 people, leading to situations where residents sleep in shifts (gantian).
🌃 Living conditions are deemed unfit for habitation, lacking sunlight and resulting in severely cramped spaces where people might sleep sitting up due to lack of room.

Economic Hardship and Livelihoods
💰 Residents primarily rely on small businesses like roadside vending, running stalls, or earning supplementary income by participating in demonstrations for daily pay (Rp 50,000).
🗑️ Many residents struggle economically, resorting to collecting plastic waste for meager earnings (around Rp 1,000) or even busking (mengamen) to survive.
🚨 The RW head frequently handles cases of residents being detained by Satpol PP due to their income-generating activities on the streets.

Social Challenges and Development
💥 High population density and lack of opportunities contribute to social issues; the RW head notes that previous generations, including himself, were involved in brawls (tawuran) because youth "didn't know what to do."
🚫 There is a noted discrimination against residents with KTPs from Tanah Tinggi in securing employment, suggesting a historical "blacklist" perception.
🗑️ Illegal garbage dumping in vacant lots (like an empty, owned house) is a recurring problem, burdening the community despite efforts to clean it up.

Government Intervention and Aspirations
🏘️ A vertical housing project resulting from collaboration between the Jakarta Provincial Government (Bunda Suci/Governor) and ATR/BPN has begun resettling some residents, featuring units designated for 12 KK.
😥 Despite data collection for aid programs (like KJL/Jakarta Elderly Card and social assistance), many residents feel left out or frustrated by inconsistent distribution and lack of follow-through on promised aid.
🏡 The primary aspiration from residents like Bu Asna is for a neater, less chaotic home where children and grandchildren can sleep comfortably, alongside hope for government attention to provide a more decent living place and employment opportunities.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Extreme overcrowding forces residents to sleep in rotations; young people often yield sleeping space to the elderly and children.
➡️ Economic survival often forces residents into low-earning or precarious activities, highlighting the need for sustainable employment alternatives over minimal social aid.
➡️ The community faces complex issues where basic needs (housing, income, social acceptance) are intertwined, requiring comprehensive empowerment programs rather than just temporary relief.
