The Rickets
The slums of the Port Metro have spent the last decade, to a mixture of horror and wonder, gentrifying. The homes there are not generally temporary lean-to shelters or tents for the working-class any longer. They are developing into cob or even wooden structures housing middle-class artisans and small business owners that will debate you endlessly over where the Port Metro ends and the Rickets begin. ("The Rickets isn't a thing! It's all the Port Metro on the municipal maps!")
Beulah Garland's old apartment is on the south side of the Rickets. Even 40 years ago she couldn't easily afford to live in Crackclaw.
