Banlieue is an American themed city somewhere in the rustbelt of the east coast. Crime is high, wages are not, but Crack prices are still comparatively low. 

While it is on the bottom of probably any statistic concerning life expectancy/government transparency/GDP per capita (you get what I mean, quality of life in general), it is not a complete loser city (I'm looking at you, Detroit). It is estimated that Banlieue is home to the most flourishing drug market in the States and it's also the city with the most social housing capacities.

After all this negativity, we want to take a look at Banlieue's more...liveworthy places..

Condos like these are a privilege, home to a small elite that generates 78% of Banlieues tax income. Some of them are said to have more than one bank account on the Cayman Islands and in Switzerland....

The architectually diverse downtown is one of the gems within the moloch; it has been subject to dillapidation over the past few years, however

The city itself is constantly shrinking since people who can afford it move to the suburbs, on the other side the metro is constantly growing, uncontrolled with more and more generic office centers popping up along the freeways. Those are huge concrete deserts, stuffed with soulless workers forgetting their bitter fate in consumption.

Here we have one close to the seaport in an area which is still quite urban.

Here is a short overview of what the city looks like in transport view...right now it consists of 4 large and one medium map (the freeway in the sea).

Enjoy and tell me what you think..the next time I'm going to focus on one certain thing..perharps sarcasm.
