North Oak (2077)

North Oak is a sub-district of Westbrook in.

Overview
North Oak is the newest part of Night City. It's the exclusive residential district, free from the poverty and gangs that plague the city. More than 50 years ago, there was nothing here than arid hills framing the north-eastern border of Night City. After the Nuke Incident and the destruction of the Arasaka Twin Towers complex it became the site of temporary refugee camps and favelas for the next 25 years.

This situation persisted until the early 2050s, when the NC government, backed by the megacorporations, decided to clear the area by force. Proclaimed as a "war against crime" by the corporate-owned media, this action became a synonym of corporate brutality and prejudice. The North Oak favelas were pacified and razed by corporate developers, and in a few years the area became the most prized part of Night City. Years of the ongoing corporate-media campaign eventually watered down and finally hushed the whole incident, not only to avoid negative PR, but to raise land value. Many rich people were initially reluctant to buy land where some dirty homeless had once lived.

These days that history is all but forgotten, and North Oak is home to the untouchable elite, corporate CEOs, hedge fund managers, and investment bankers, but also to the various showbiz figures: BD producers and stars, and musicians.

Most people are not welcomed here, and private security is tight. I had to rent an aerial vehicle just to catch a glimpse of the famous district. The area consists of vast estates, some of them with their own micro-biome and artificially created landscape. Both the Arasaka Estate and Kerry Eurodyne's villa are within North Oak, because here it doesn't matter whether you're a corporate owner or a renegade rockerboy, the only thing that matters is how wealthy you are. Every Night City citizen dreams of living here.
