Is it possible to create a city that is even more densely populated than Kowloon Walled City?
Hive City
it would be possible
the problems include and are not limited to
extreme risk, cost, decreasing rent, diseases.
also it would be heaven for terrorists properly placed explosives on the lower levels could level big parts of the city
The thought of Kowloon always scared me like a nightmare.
Shadowrun Hong Kong did a good job of portraying it in this aspect,
where daily life is a literal nightmare.
Yes, if the hive would have only living quarters. Kowloon had shops of all kind and they took up living space.
But it would be a pure hell on earth to live there.
Pic related is what comes remotely close to Kowloon, Chungking Mansions.
The modernized, cleaner version of cowloon. Id love to visit it someday, its so comfy, for some reason.
Still it somehow fascinates me. I wouldn't want to live in it, but being a tourist would be awesome. Of course with local security guys by my side. I dont want to be kidnapped.
Speaking of games, there is a small team that develops a game, where you explore Kowloon a s a cat.

>I dont want to be kidnapped
Being kidnapped is your last concern here. You should worry about rats and cockroach.
I handled pet rats of friends, no problem. Wild rats are also harmless, Just dont corner them, they always go out of your way. Roaches are annoying, but id rather deal with pests than being kidnapped by a triade.
Go to faggot
A month or so ago I posted pages from the pic related book. If anyone remembers, I've stopped half way through. You can find those here:
