and it was replaced with a fucking garden

Has anyone here seen "Kakurenbo?" Holy fuck, that is a freaky movie. It takes place in a district(?) identical to the Walled City, but the community is entirely independent and... well... watch it. But keep the lights on.

Man, if Kowloon still existed I'd pay more to live there than for a McMansion is the finest suburb.

Can I seriously ask why?

The city was the definition of freedom, aside from the short period of Triad rule over the city it was a peaceful and happy place to live for it's residents, sure it smelled like shit, needed some cleaning, and probably didn't have cable, but the people were happy and free from the chains of an over bearing government that just wanted control over the people.

makes you wonder how they stuffed 20 million in one cradle in AC4AA

Keep in mind those cradles were fucking huge, you really couldn't get a sense of the scale from the 2 possible missions that took place on or around them, think 4 or 5 New York's worth of space.

Yup, I was there March of '08. Had to stop by to see what had become of it and to say I'd been where the City used to be

Holy fuck thats awesome

Is it terribly sad that I recognized that area from the Dragonball movie?

Freedom? Reminds me of that Dark Days documentary. You can have that kind of freedom anywhere you want.

They got free water and electricity? Socialism!
