The situation is an overflowing cesspit, and it’s not just me. Tons of people lost their homes after Verdance allowed landlords to set their own rent prices two years ago. Meanwhile, Emerald’s VP has been pushing an H. sapiens–only policy for new renters—I couldn’t move there even if I wanted to. It’s been chaos since then. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if more people started pushing for governments like in Spider City. We need some way to provide people with necessities like housing and food.
