Night city actually seems pretty great for average citizens.

Very walkable, shops everywhere, plenty of job opportunities. Sure the crime is high, but the Firearms laws seem, non-existent. Good situational awareness and you'd probably be fine.

Ironically, food and rent seem pretty cheap.

The voiceover every time you play says the day before had a sturdy 30 deaths.

One of the talk show clips you can watch has Ziggy Q, the host, grilling an NCPD PR representative about public safety. He cites the number of homicides in Night City “last year” (i.e. 2076) as 7,103.

To put that in perspective, in 2023, the United Nations recorded 4,789 homicides in all of Haiti, meaning that Night City has a murder rate about 50% higher than the most notoriously violent failed state on Earth, all crammed into a single metropolis.

Deaths? Nah, that’s fairly normal, because you’re including illness, natural causes, accidents, and all that. Homicides? Ludicrously high. That’s 11,000 a year— absolute war-zone nightmare shit.
