can you imagine what the disco elysium version of "we didn't start the fire" would be like

edit: if ever anyone needed a quick summary of the past several decades in politics, pop culture, and other cultural touchstones…

as you may be able to deduce, I am watching a Disco Elysium playthrough and there's this part where Harry and Kim get their hands on some paperwork about a new development coming to an impoverished district, like the zoning application and plans and everything, and are trying to figure out if there's some loophole that will displace the current residents

and i'm just like *rolling up sleeves*

STEP ASIDE, BOYS

i will nobly refrain from infodumping, but the website of the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing has a bunch of reports regarding best practices for "informal settlements" (shantytowns, slums, tent cities, etc.), which category the Revachol "fishing village" likely falls into: https://www.ohchr.org/en/special-procedures/sr-housing/resources-and-publications#informal

Resources and publications

This page provides access to key publications and resources on the right to adequate housing. They include publications by OHCHR, the Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, UN agencies, international and regional organizations and selected publications of civil society organizations.

OHCHR

I think the main message to take away from Disco Elysium is the importance of having a robust urban heritage preservation regulatory framework. Imagine if those other six historic churches had been preserved.

@nev I’m becoming frightened of this game, which I have not played, and being honest, will likely never play
