      Do you think OP is presenting this street, completely full with people, as an example of normal pedestrian traffic? This is the inauguration. Nobody lives in these flats.

      Most likely the party organisers have made deliberate choices to discourage people attending from watching from behind the stage, on account of how stages work.
