Like all jungles, the Southside Jungles are economically depressed and the corporations who own these residential areas care little for the welfare of the average inhabitant, who individually is of almost no value to them. Because of the loose enforcement of traffic laws, the Southside Jungles are known as a particularly dangerous area to go driving. The streets attract go-gangers and everyone else who doesn’t feel like obeying traffic rules. | Like all jungles, the Southside Jungles are economically depressed and the corporations who own these residential areas care little for the welfare of the average inhabitant, who individually is of almost no value to them.

Police: The police here are not hired by the city, but the corporations who house unskilled workers in the area. The local inhabitants are not considered particularly valuable by the corporations they work for, and the corporate police do not go to great trouble to protect them, nor their environment. Taking a page from the South CityPol cops in the neighboring government projects, they do not even bother to enforce traffic laws unless property is actually damaged. The officers are usually issued a submachine gun, an auto-pistol and a stun baton. | Police: The police here are not hired by the city, but the corporations who house unskilled workers in the area.

Gangs: The lack of traffic rules has lead to a proliferation of go-gangs in these neighborhoods, much as it has elsewhere on the Southside. Firearms are generally unavailable in the enclave and the gangers use melee weapons instead – especially weapons that can be cheaply improvised or can be used while riding a motorcycle. Bats, chains, pipes and even swords are commonly used. | Gangs: The lack of traffic rules has lead to a proliferation of go-gangs in these neighborhoods, much as it has elsewhere on the Southside.

Weapons: The police care enough about public order to arrest anyone found in possession of a ranged weapon, or any weapon of LR 3 or less. Melee weapons, while technically illegal, are semi-tolerated - they are quite likely to be confiscated, but it is not likely that charges will be pressed simply for possession. Most citizens carry no weapons at all and weapons that are carried tend to be easily concealed weapons of LR 4 or above. | Weapons: The police care enough about public order to arrest anyone found in possession of a ranged weapon, or any weapon of LR 3 or less.
