Rancho Coronado was an overpacked suburb located south of central Night City during the Time of the Red.

Overview

2020s - 2030s

Rancho Coronado was incepted as a place where the workers of Night City could live. Even after the Fourth Corporate War, this purpose didn't change much. Although after the war many refuges from around the metropolitan area flooded the surrounding suburbs, constructing multitude of tent cities in the middle of what had previously been safe suburban beavervilles.

Over the following years, Rancho Coronado remained mostly the same, but it was packed with homeless citizens who either fled other areas of Night City because of the war or who were pushed out due to the ongoing gentrification of the Rebuilding Urban Center.[1][2]

2040s

By the 2040s, Rancho Coronado was an overpacked suburb of central Night City. The vast stretch of old beaverville style housings had been taken over by tent cities and industrial zones that had grown out of the ruins of previous mini-malls. It was crowded, crime-ridden, and on the edge of disaster all the time. Despite this, ongoing development projects were still arranged, which included megabuildings to house the displaced population and plans to rebuild the NCART lines above ground and extend them to cover all the districts in the city.[1]

Despite the reconstruction plans, by 2045, Rancho Coronado had not seen any major development, nor anyone had yet bothered to put the cash to buy the district a seat in the Night City Council. As such, Rancho Coronado didn't have a city manager, and it lacked in many of the resources necessaries to make the district function, including utilities such as fire and police services. One of the few reliable places to find clean water in the whole district was a carwash occupied by the Albino Alligators, a gang that had a significant influence on the district.[3]
