The worst thing to do is wear a nice suit in this neighborhood. The times are tough in Algiers and people only seem to care if somebody else is in their business. The more out of place you look, the more eyes you attract and the more eyes you attract the more likely someone in power will assume you are there looking for them. One could almost call the area extremely progressive, but truly it is just a state of advanced xenophobia. You're either from Algiers, so you're alright. Or you're not, and that might just be a problem.

There is a Lax amount of security in Algiers, the municipal police happy to let the poor settle accounts amongst themselves. Gangs control the neighborhoods and often act as an enforcement squad or the police, happy to settle debates with a swift kick in the ass. Still, too much noise is bad for tourism and the NOPD prefers if the denizens of the ward keep their bloodletting to a dull rumble.

Devil rats galore, the occasional hell hound, but thanks to an effort from the Crescent City there are no more alligators in the canal. At least, none that anybody has proved in the last fifteen years.

Algiers was originally brought into the fold of the city in the later half of the 19th century. It has survived famines, fires, riots and a military installation. It seems a city unto itself, built over and over as the rubble beneath it crunched and fell to the will of hurricanes and land developers.

Packed tightly, mostly with the poor and the SINless, Algiers has always been a stain on the pristine image that the Crescent City attempts to give itself. Violence is often a way of life and decides who goes hungry on any given day. The people who reside here, however, refuse to simply bow down to the relative warlords that battle in the peninsula. Instead they've adopted a hearty spirit and a pragmatism that is hard to match anywhere outside of Redmond Barrens in Seattle or the Aurora Warrens in Detroit.

Algiers is the home of cheap housing and a limitless supply of violence. Almost all the homes have matrix connection and power, but some days it seems supplied by the city only to keep its most rowdy occupants entertained and out of the more tourist populated parts of the city.

As the saying in Algiers goes: Know who you are affiliated with, or die alone. Gangs can begin and end in a matter of weeks in Algiers and while their actual ranks are fewer in number than any of the major criminal syndicates, the public around them knows that supporting them brings protection and income that otherwise might not exist.
