Charter Hill (2020)

Charter Hill was an upper class district of Central Night City, located to the southeast. It was considered part of the Nightlife District.
==Overview==
Charter Hill was a small section of Night City located between the crowded Little China streets and the waters of Del Coronado Bay. Its architecture reflected the western styles of Seattle and San Francisco, and was well-known as a place to enjoy gambling in style due to the luxurious Hacienda Hotel casino, or to simply visit as a tourist due to the popular Richard Night Memorial Aquarium and other local establishments.
NCTC bus connections to other parts of Central Night City were available through line 23. Additionally, the Hacienda offered a special armored charter service from the hotel to the Metropolitan Airport and back.
==History==
===1990s - 2011===
In the mid-late 1990s, during the construction of Night City, Charter Hill was zoned as a residential district similar to the eastern sections of the neighboring South City District. Unfortunately, these residential areas didn't see much development after the death of Richard Night, and much like the blocks to the south, which became a Combat Zone, Charter Hill ended up in a similar situation.
During the Mob rule of Night City, Charter Hill became a very desolate place, infested by multitude of gangs. By 2005, it was one of the worst areas in Central Night City. The Mob War of 2009-2011 hit this part of the metropolis really hard, nearly destroying it. After the conflict, this ruined section was mostly left underdeveloped and ignored until the intervention of both the European corporation Hydrosubsidium, and a Spanish lady known as Isabel Vargas.
===2011 - 2020s===
After the Mob War, land in Charter Hill was going cheap. Isabel Vargas saw an opportunity and bought a run-down apartment block, then demolished it and begun construction of the Hacienda Hotel. In these early days, the hotel was besieged by gangs, so Isabel hired a notable solo known as Andrew Scythe to run her security force. Scythe built it into a small army of well trained men and effectively protected the hotel's grounds. At the same time, Hydrosubsidium began to operate in Del Coronado Bay, opening both a research facility and office building in Charter Hill.
Over the following years, the glamour and money of the Hacienda, plus the development Hydrosubsidium was doing in the district, turned Charter Hill from one of the most dangerous areas in Night City into one of the more pleasant and secure locations in the metropolis. Moreover, the Hacienda security, led by Andrew Scythe, became the main reason gangs citywide had declared Charter Hill no-man's land, and it was usually used by them to settle disputes in neutral territory. This newfound peace caused more and more wealthy people to visit the district.
By 2020, Charter Hill was known to have one of the lowest crimes rates on the whole Del Coronado Bay area. The Stars Theatre and the Richard Night Memorial Aquarium brought a fair amount of upper class traffic into the district, and the Hacienda Hotel was famous for its very rich clientele.
