It is a Ghost City.
Abandoned to what is left.
Was it lack of money?
Lack of community spirit?
Dying industry?
Changes in manufacturing?
Bad management?
Chance?
The council had messed up.
The coffers were dry.
It is a Ghost City.
Populated by marauding collections of mismatched citizens.
People drive tractors to farm what used to be parking lots.
People fashion new homes out of abandoned homes.
People create parks and temporary health centres.
People queue at the few official buildings left.
It is not complete anarchy you know.
Others fight and scavenge and use it as an opportunity for crime.
This often happens in towns.
Less often in cities.
This is what is left when human error has had its way.
