Residential District

The Residential District (住宅街) of Enchō (苑町) is a location in the Special Zone E of Shinkomi.

It is the main residential area and is where high-rise flat blocks extend around the perimeter of the Special Zone E. Most people in Shinkomi live in the crowd of pencil buildings.

Description
There are many skyscraper-like buildings in this area, but they are all flats. This was done in order to secure as many settlements as possible in the limited land of Shinkomi.

There is always a strong wind blowing in the vicinity of this residential area, due to the crammed rows of high-rise buildings.

Many of the buildings are constructed in a way that ignore building regulations, and thus would collapse in the event of a major earthquake. However, the rent is known to be much cheaper.

People in the Special Zone E still continue to live here. It is said that you can't live in Shinkomi itself in the first place if you are worried about such things.
