Renting an Apartment?

[Genso]

As far as I'm concerned, Neo Scavenger becomes fairly easy after one attains a gun, full set of clothing, and the means to boil water. Scavenging and selling shoes, extra guns, and the occasional nanobot kit also allowed me to net 6k in little more than a hour. So my question is this, as I sit on my pile of 20000 dollars -- what can we possibly spend our money on?

After augmentations, there is no real place to spend money that is really meaningful. Even guns/ammo you can scavenge off of the occasional dead guard, so weapons are not a problem. That's why I'm wondering at this point whether or not there can be an apartment in the Concrete Forest up for rent, since my money reserves seem to be reasonable to allow it to be done. It would act like a hex where you can store all you stuff, safe from looters, and stockpile excess goods. I like to travel minimally so having a place to store my valuables would be nice, and looters are the main concern.

Of course, having an apartment would definitely eliminate the thematic aspect of survival, but then considering how easy it is to survive out in the Sprawl anyway, there doesn't seem to be be much of a difference.

You can allways stay in the hatters appartment block. I have three appartments there where I hoard my stuff (too much stuff...).

Also, while I get why people ask for that kind of thing, one have to keep in mind that story-wise character enters the DMC using a counterfeited/stolen Visitors Pass.

So not only he has a timed, limited access, he also has it from illegal source. Pretty poor basis to think about owning a Real Estate. That is further reinforced by some story developments already in the game - in the encounter with Cale, in the Concrete Apartments, one his call is all that is necessary to get player into trouble with the security, and possibly banned from the city for years. And as far as we know, Cale is not any kind of rich power-player but an ordinary, poor citizen.

So maybe in the future Dan could add a way to get DMC citizenship (or at least Work Permit), but for now it would make little sense for someone to sell an apartment to player. Rent-per-day hotel maybe?

Yeah, story-wise I see your point. It would be unreasonable for the character to do so. Perhaps when more features/story are introduced the issue of a safehouse might not even be a concern at all.
