Visually, yeah. I mean, hell, we didn't have to worry about spending money there. Back home, you can barely get a cup noodle for under $59.99 if you're lucky.
Our entire city's run by a massive megacorporation... they call it the "Guinea Pig of the World" because they run so many damn tests on the populace. A regular ID is just your insurance number nowadays.
[ so they can properly put you in the ground. or bill you in a heartbeat for anything and everything. ]
I mean, no more than any other huge city of industry? People get sick and die. People are killed... the White Knights do what they can, but they're not exactly "for the people" either. Most of 'em anyways.
It's... not really a thing that can be fixed. Progress is progress to them. Sometimes... I think maybe I should away. But you gotta have money to do that.
[ sometimes you are trapped in a hypercapitalistic hell that makes it impossible to do anything but live hand to mouth okay okay okay. ]
If the money from this job's real? Which I highly doubt at this point... Maybe I can do that.

I know... I miss Station Rodin already. 'Least I copped some of their specialty booze before leaving, so we can have a little bit of it with us.
