Many analysts have criticised the economic model of the Fidakarian government as devoting resources to the large cities such as Ubran, Vashtoon, Yashood and most of all Halaler at the expense of other parts of the province. Average incomes and personal wealth in Halaler far exceed surrounding areas resulting in large scale immigration that has resulted in the development of informal housing at the peripheries of the city beyond its formal limits. Estimates suggest that over 2% of adults are actually homeless due to high housing rates and the restriction of public services to legally registered residents (and the subsequent withholding of formal residency permits), a fact concealed by the anti-homeless law enforcement and urban planning of the city.

Attempts by the government to spur urbanisation and industrialisation in the cities surrounding Halaler to relieve pressure and mitigate the suffering of low skill and working class migrant workers have fallen short of the demand resulting in informal housing and the formation of slums outside the city limits. It is the only city in Packilvania where registered residents can get free ambulance transport. The Halalerian Government subsidizes medical care for registered residents in addition to schemes at medical and provincial level.
People within the city's formal limits enjoy a very high quality of life with Halaler being described as one of the cleanest, most beautiful and most liveable areas of Packilvania.
