The first phase of their scheme was to allocate space to rooms that aren't at first visible.

Some radix sort implementations allocate space for buckets by first counting the number of keys that belong in each bucket before moving keys into those buckets.

The problem became worse in the early 1990s when the city authorities could no longer allocate space for individuals who had requested for stores, stalls etc.

However, so many of these were either garages deemed too small by residents, or allocated spaces unavailable to all, that two-thirds of people blamed parking for neighbour disputes.

It spent its first few years neatly trained as a wall shrub, but quickly outgrew its allocated space.
