Kingston is what most would class as an okay city. Its views aren't very pretty, mainly being a city filled with pollution, crime and prostitutes. Most of the crime is mainly gang-related and hustlers, and the bustling roads full of cars are probably the main source of its dirty air. Either way, the citizens of Kingston live life normally, and the new residents try their best to fit in. You can tell on the streets which ones are tourists or new residents, and which are Kingston citizens - some people (the new residents and tourists) just wait at the traffic lights, and Kingston citizens just run across the road.
City life isn't all bad, though. If you're lucky enough, that is. There are some better neighbourhoods in Kingston, though they're all currently inhabited, some houses for sale do come up once in a while. If you can afford it, good for you! But in Kingston, the better neighbourhoods normally go for $50,000 - $100,000. Yeah, that's how good they are. Some may crop up for rent, but then again it's usually $1,500 a month.
The streets of Kingston are often bustling at night, lit up dimly by the half-working lamposts scattered around the city. Stores are usually open up until 1 in the morning, as Kingston is more awake at night than it is in the day. Its default weather is either cloudy or raining, and there's rarely ever sunlight. Most people who don't live there describe the streets as "one massive slum". The citizens treat it like one, too. You'll find plenty of litter on the streets, and sometimes empty cocaine bags or heroin needles. They're quite open about their crime - after all, it is the City of Crime, with the biggest Police Station in California. So long as you know the tricks of the trade and aren't a feeble minded foreigner looking to spend your money, you'll be alright.
Most corner stores are run by slippery people with Kingston literally in their bones. These people are the ones who know all the tricks (and how to use them on tourists and the sort). If you have a way with words, you can usually get around these shopkeepers. If not, well, your best chance is to head to the supermarket (which is mainly full of those sort of automated voice people who only do what they're trained to do). Long story short - if you're new to Kingston and need to go a store, you're fucked.
Kingston Police Station is absolutely massive, earning its name as the biggest police station in California. You'd honestly wonder how the cops know their way around it so well. It's so big that not even all the police know the full layout of it - only the layout of the regions they need to know about. The Investigative Offices are the main part of the story, as they are the place where the group shall meet each day for their usual meetings with Logan.
The Midnight Fox is about the worst place to be if you don't want to get kidnapped. Outside, that is. Inside, however, is a different story. There's a certain drug that tends to get traded in there (will be discussed in the next section), and people tend to take it a lot, thus ending them up
outside. So, word of warning - don't take the drug if you don't want to be kidnapped. You can drink, however, and take it upstairs in the suites with your girlfriend to get it on. So it's not too strict of a nightclub.
Drugs in Kingston can be pretty lethal. You get your usual coke, heroin, meth and weed, but there's a special drug only available via Kingston dealers - Muze. Muze is a powerful drug that gets people on a five hour high, before they then go on a rampage and tackle people, become aggressive for no reason, and outright murder a random stranger. Muze goes for a high price, since the police have wiped most of it out, and SWAT teams have once had to go out just to restrain one person who was high on the stuff.
