Now it's 34,500 benefit claimants will be chasing just 23000 low-cost houses.

Mr. Escobar built a village named after himself on the outskirts of Medellin, and gave hundreds of low-cost houses to the poor.

The low-cost private houses he built in the west of the city are very much lived-in.

Together they designed some 1,100 low-cost houses which proved to be a great success.
