Residential District
Trains and roads intersect between the neon patchwork of the Residential District. A few months ago, only the worst neighborhoods had to worry about local gang wars, but now everything has gone out of control. Cryptix tags that lasted a decade have now been covered by numerous others, and the churches are considered one of the few reliably safe places to be.
What's Here
High-density housing fills most of the district, though single-family homes start to appear farther out from the center of the city. Local businesses and restaurants dot the communities, with many being smaller versions of what can be found in the Commercial District. The recent unrest has led to a variety of property damage, leaving several buildings no longer safe even by Nisoran standards. Affected people have sought refuge elsewhere, many landing in Mother of the Stars churches.Who's here
Residential neighborhoods differ in whether they allow those without residency papers to live there. A noted, if unfortunate, trend is that migrant-friendly neighborhoods tend to also be in poor shape. Residents often blame the migrants for this: many off-worlders believe Nisora's lack of government gives them freedom to unleash their worst impulses. This becomes worse if they only intend to be here temporarily, and have even less interest in taking care of their surroundings and building relationships with neighbors.
