Pacific City Neighborhoods
What are the worst areas of Pacific City?
Iron Harbor. In 1956, this was the shipping center of the city until it the shipyards were destroyed by the Silver Sentry's battle with a Korexian invasion force. The new shipyards were in a different area and Iron Harbor spiraled into poverty. Rezoning attempted to correct the problem but only produced an industrial hellhole where people once lived. Today, the area is block after block of abandoned warehouses, rusting gantries and dockyards surrounded by outdated housing projects, factories, chemical facilities and mills. Crime is a tremedous problem and the Bonelords gang rules the streets and alleys. The area abuts the north end of the red light district, which certainly doesn't help matters. The vigilante Raven is often seen in this area.
Isla Maria. The Spanish ghetto, more commonly known as La Hoya ('The Pit'). Povery and rampant unemployment, overcrowding and gang warfare between a dozen different rivals creates an almost visible aura of fear. Razor and Saber (apparent brothers with force-field powers) are known to be protectors of the area and rarely leave it.
Blackmine aka The Tombs. About a dozen square blocks in the north-central area were reduced almost to rubble by a time-displacement effect during the Eternity War. It's been more than 10 years, and so far no-one seems to be able to rebuild the area. It's a haven for homeless, runaways, odd cults, and the like. It's almost totally cut off from the rest of the city in terms of services; bus or train service only at the edges, no taxis, little electricity or fresh water.
