I don't believe Sadri actually owns any market stalls... might I ask where you got that notion from? I'd also like to point out that he outright states that his taxes were raised if you hand over the (accidentally) stolen ring of Viola Giordano back to Giordano rather than sneaking it back into her house. Anyways, I don't recall anything stating that the Dunmer chose to live in the slums (unless you're saying that they chose it in the sense there was nowhere else to stay), nor anything stating that they're quite happy with the conditions they live in.

Couples of things to counter what you're saying about Brunwulf.

~ When Ulfric delibrately oppresses the Dark Elves, doesn't really care what happens to the Argonians, curses the people of Cyrodiil for their faithlessness to a god who really isn't worth fighting over, and obviously has quite a lot of hatred for High Elves, it's kind of hard to say that he wants provincials wondering Skyrim.

~ Tullius is a shrewd diplomat and strategist, Canuck. In his eyes, Brunwulf probably seems like a polar opposite to Ulfric, and seeing as how Tullius probably doesn't want to get dragged into another Civil War, it makes sense that he'd put him on the Jarl's throne. As for why he says it reluctantly, who can say?

~ A Giant whose camp sits basically right next to the road is hardly an investigation. I also very much doubt that the Khajiit were it's only victims, seeing as how the bounty for and warning about said Giant seem to point out that it's been harrassing everyone indiscriminately.

~ I've yet to see anything proving that Brunwulf is doing any wrong to the Dunmer. If you're referring to the fact that we never actually see Brunwulf visit the Palace, then by that reasoning, we can assume that just because Ondolemar lives in Markarth he's never actually visited the Thalmor Embassy.
