Downtown Slums

Description

A train rumbles by, overhead, dislodging dust and paint and rust. Everything here seems to exist in the shadow of bridges, overpasses and other elevated structures. One in every eight or 10 of the squat apartment houses looks to be derelict, or else overtaken by squatters. Even many of the legitimately inhabited structures have broken or boarded-up windows. The entire neighborhood appears to be the product of a deliberate, years-long campaign of vandalism and economic oppression.

Rumors

This area is rumored to contain multiple meth labs, making it both a toxic area for kine, and a severe fire hazard.

Traits

Physical: Access +1, Safety –3. Trains and buses stop in the area, but the wise avoid getting out at said stops.
Mental: Information +2, Awareness –3. This is a good place to hear the word on the street, but a fear-numbed populace has been conditioned to pay no heed to anything that doesn’t directly concern them.
Social: Prestige –3, Stability –3. There is no sense of community loyalty in this violent slum.

Haven Qualities

Location 5, Security 1, Size 3. If a Kindred is willing to exist without any reliable safety measures, she can enjoy prodigious opportunity for feeding and quite a bit of living space.
