The Sprawl extended in all directions. While it typically extended up only four or five stories and down rarely more than two, the Evercity continued North, South, East, and West forever. Housing was only an issue in the most overpopulated areas. Even so, the phenomenon of overcrowding was a relatively new one. Multiple Burgs in all directions must be filled to capacity before those in the center began to force people to the streets. This was where Opus began his life, in the heavily overcrowded burg of Xandersburg.
