its saddest of all that the sanctuary districts, which have free use of any building in the area, free food distribution, and some semblance of government services (such as job placement), are quite a bit less dystopian than our timeline's reality
I mean, the "free use of any building in the area" thing means that gangs control shelter access and there's no incentive to increase housing capacity in response to increasing population.
