Smogside crouches in PractiCity’s industrial basin, where decommissioned smokestacks loom over half-occupied tenements and the air hangs heavy with a metallic haze that never clears. Zoned for redevelopment decades ago, the district instead calcified into a liminal sprawl of perpetual emergency—boarded windows beside lit apartments, streets where sirens wail at all hours yet help arrives on inexplicable schedules, and police presence so constant yet so unpredictable that locals survive in wary silence, aware that here, law is exercised with theatrical frequency but no promises of protection, leaving the Burroughs suspended between ruin and a strange, curated disorder that keeps outsiders away.
