Editing San Francisco (section)

==Description==
A healthy city with a very competitive environment.<ref name="R1.2">Long story short, if you show up and you didn't spend a small fortune on your costume (and really sell yourself, make no mistakes, make yourself part of the narrative, and so on and so on), they're going to treat you like you were one of the Merchants wanting a seat at the table in Somer's Rock. Most of the people who can't break in or who slip in standing/perception will move out to nearby areas and try to rebrand/re-establish a footing before getting back in. All of this creates a kind of tiering where there are a lot of celebrity capes fighting (sometimes literally) for the public eye, both villain and hero, and there's a lot of dregs who just don't care, while the B-listers lurk at the periphery waiting for a shot. - [https://redd.it/63w7ey Elaboration by WildBow on Reddit]</ref> The PRT heroes control everything above board while the Rogues and villains are controlled by the Elite. The two groups are engaged in a long term shadow battle for dominance trying to drain the other of influence and resources while still trying to gain supremacy.<ref name="R1.4">On a deeper, more intense level, the Elite and PRT are playing a long-term game of chess, with both sides digging for info, investigating or moving key pieces into place. They ostensibly cooperate, making sure the city remains theirs in the mutual sense, but both are undercutting and diminishing the other while aiming to avoid upsetting the balance. Moves made on this front do very often cross the line, but not in public view. - [https://redd.it/63w7ey Elaboration by WildBow on Reddit]</ref>
