Eastside Slums

Description

Hills rise and fall in this neighborhood, which is laid out on jagged, labyrinthine angles. Most buildings are three-story apartment houses, though some have first-floor stores. Other businesses are located in squat, ugly buildings of brick or cinder-blocks. Only a few stores are open now, their façades illuminated by garish neon lighting. Several pops sound faintly in the distance, followed by the screech of tires on asphalt. A dog starts barking.

Rumors

The Prince has his eye on this area, he seems displeased at the level of criminal activity here.

Traits

Physical: Access +1, Safety –1. The neighborhood is poorly designed, but accessible. Still, the criminal element runs rampant here, and while most violence targets other gangs, bystanders are by no means safe.
Mental: Information +2, Awareness –1. Word of mouth travels quickly in these parts, but many of the savviest locals turn blind, deaf and dumb whenever ignorance seems prudent.
Social: Prestige –1, Stability –1. Recent escalations in gang violence have destabilized this unsavory — but once reasonably tight-knit — neighborhood.

Haven Qualities

Location 3, Security 2, Size 3. An enterprising Kindred could cheaply rent (or purchase) one of the slightly better and more secure apartment buildings for use as a home and base of operations.
