Quote: from Johnny on 10:19 am on Jan. 7, 2008[br]Red Canary could be setup with rooms much like the hourly renting room at the Orifice. Designed for secure, private, short-term meetings (sexual or otherwise).We don't have a housing shortage and large scale housing would just bloat the moo. :)
I kinda beg to differ. For instance, A character went to the apartments on Lamb's wake, and every single one was rented or overdue on rent and unable to be re-rented. Said character was forced to make a cube it's home. The only available apartments in Red cost as much as an apartment on Green. Which, i think goes without saying, means it was out of the price range.
I think there should be a couple of low profile, yet secure as a cube, housing options in the Park and Heaven. Both of these areas can be catalysts for RP for different player types that the game lacks imho. They don't have to be mass housing places, but some options...
As far as Bio's point I agree that it's kinda rediculous for a member of gang A to have to store his gear and sleep in the middle of Gang B's turf. Not that anyone will listen, but I don't think large scale housing is the only option when it comes to providing more housing. And I don't think the bloat would be that bad for fucks sake. It's not like they're going to keep multiplying, once the place is built, it's built. If anything is creating bloat its the clothing items for sale in certain shops that aren't even complete... That and all the sleepers who don't login anymore. :)
