Just in time for the Bell riots
The Bell Riots are a prophecy.
i hope the prophecy is a bit versatile this time around because the original creed relies on people being empathetic on the internet
Did you know in NuTrek that BLM and Trump supporters trigger/are part of a second American civil war that leads into WW3?
Bell riots, second civil war, WW3, eugenics war. The lore for that time period in Trek is a mess. They’re all smooshed together and so vaguely defined.
Stop trying to keep the timeline contemporary Rick Berman you fuck.
This is one of those rare things you can quite blame Berman for. It’s mostly due to most of that stuff being g made up in the 60s
at least the various fictional governments involved would provide the people in the Sanctuary Districts with food and water rations, physical buildings to live in, and make an effort to keep legitimately
You’re just describing prisons.
That’s what the Sanctuary Districts ultimately became. Chunks of the city that had fallen into slum conditions were simply nationalized and repurposed as prison grounds for the unemployed.
Their plans seem to be to force homeless people to simply die of exposure out of eyeshot of wealthy people.
A lot of the plan involves scoping up homeless people and shoveling them into post-COVID jail vacancies. But even then, we’re running into the UK dilemma of not wanting to actually spend more money on jails. So what we end up with is much more akin to shoddily built and staffed concentration camps, where people just languish until they’re released or they expire.
We might be moving in the Sanctuary City direction if housing prices every collapsed. But right now, real estate is just too valuable to be wasted on new jails.
