Vice, high prices, rent problems.

This is what city life entails, even with two jobs. In fact, to pay rent and make ends meet, one job may not be enough. As a result, vice is on the rise, and alcohol is the main problem.

In a tourist town, there will be many such vice-related issues to approach with care.
