Create a short description of a depressing scene outside town with shacks, huts, buildings, and structures.

The alley widens into a narrow lane lined with coarse structures which crouch up against the backs of the larger streetfront buildings. Many of the squat huts and shacks appear fairly well-established and even passably maintained, but most ordinary folk are ill-at-ease here and move on as soon as their circumstances permit. A restless sense of impermanence prevails.
