To do that, first you need to forget about all best practices and problems that have been fixed and issues regarding quality of life and even safety.
No one bothers building little 10-foot wide streets because that's an appalingly bad idea. Slums aren't known for their quality of life, and no emergency service can pass through 10-foot wide streets.
You're a former boring engineer talking about issues that you know nothing about.

People bother to build little narrow streets all the time in non-slum areas, and their emergency services work fine. It just doesn't happen in North America.
