Glens Falls

A small city in Upstate New York that's part of New York's Greater Capital Region, surrounded by various towns that might as well all be one big shithole. The job market has been steadily declining for decades so every other person is selling weed or stripping cars. A few investment groups tried cleaning up the neighborhoods after urban decay swept the region in the 90s and 2000s but the only thing that really stays decent are the buildings downtown. Almost everyone lives in apartment complexes or houses converted into multiple residences. Whenever someone gets killed over drugs (Only maybe a couple or three times a year, not too bad here tbh) its almost always ruled a suicide so the Detectives can go back to counting their bribe money from the drug kingpins that supply the areas dealers. Groups of teenage degenerates usually roam the streets looking for shit to steal or other groups to anagonize, mainly because they have no parental guidance since their dads walked out on them and their moms are selling their pussy for crack down on South Street, the center for scumbag nightlife and the area's red light district.

I lived around South St. on New Pruyn in Glens Falls when I was a kid and almost everyone in the neighborhood lived in rundown houses from the 1910s that were converted into multiple apartments so money grubbing landlords could collect thousands per week in rent. The apartments improved when they were bought up by investors but the rent jacked so now more people are running drugs in that part of town than ever.
