Congrats from me too :) This multi-choice city series is so much fun.

One point - "notoriety" has a very negative connotation, maybe "fame" would be a more neutral word to describe something that was applauded by as many people as it was considered "notorious".

It definitely wasn't applauded by as many people as it was criticized by.

A group of insane socialists set up a no police zone. Then people got murdered in said zone. The vast majority of the country disagreed with this action

The vast majority of the country got an incredibly negative skewed portrayal of the autonomous zone. Obviously it wasn't perfect, but there was a lot of good to come out of it, too. Also, as a capitol hill resident, unfortunately shootings are far from a rarity in this neighborhood.

Yes "insane socialists" are what you need to be worrying about, not insane police brutality or insane police militarization or insane gun laws. The US are the country of insanity. But one thing that wasn't insane was the CHAZ.

It shows that you know Seattle well when you put that option for bubonic plague breakout in a homeless encampment. Gave me a chuckle.

Congrats on this feature, Hubert! For the last question, I would have gotten it wrong if you added the option of 'weapons' in. Because pike.
