Over the years, accidents regarding megas started raising concerns among government officials. It was clear that they needed a solution to these random bouts of untold damage. This lead to the creation of designated size districts, where all current neighborhood would be converted into new ones that only allowed for certain people over or under specific size limits to buy a home there. However there was one glaring problem with this plan: the relocation of the current residents.

At first things went smoothly. Three of the four cities, Upton, East Side, and Westberg, were all divided up into a mix of Mega, Micro, and Standard districts with little pushback. All that was left was to simply relocate the Mega population from South Town and convert it into a Micro/Standard-only district. However as relocation began, the Megas of the district gathered in peaceful protest in the streets. Their demands were simple: They did not want to be forcible moved to another town. Many of them lived in South Town all of their lives, many of them preferred the location by the shore, and some of them just didn't like the idea of the relocation plan in general.

After weeks of peaceful protest, law officials were brought in to hurry the relocation process along, and very slowly over time the protest began to bubble up and turn into a heated debate. Arguments between the two sides began, which lead to shouting, screaming and then eventually angry foot stamping on the pavement... until a silence inducing *crunch* resounded through the atmosphere. During the heated debating, one of the mega protesters made a fatal mistake and planted her foot smack down onto a standard sized officer. She lifted her boot up and looked at the mangled mess of a man; her eyes wide open with regret and fear. But soon that fear turned into apathy, and that apathy turned to rage. "Why... DO we have to take orders from... them?" she muttered while eyeing the standard-sized law enforcement that lined the streets. She scraped the mess from her boot and chuckled to herself, "If you ask me it's a little... ridiculous."

At that moment, for the first time in a long time, a mega rationalized who really was holding all of the cards in this situation. It certainly wasn't the shin-height officers who lined the streets. Nor was it the government officials who were smaller than her finger nails. And sooner than anyone could even process what just happened her boot fell again, and again, but this time with purpose and this time with rage. Soon other megas joined in on the rampage, other megas chose to run, all the while officers began to retaliate. A full on riot had broken out, where innocents were wounded, buildings were toppled, and lives were lost. What precisely happened in the aftermath of the riot was mysteriously never officially documented.

Years later, little remains of South Town aside from ruined buildings and littered streets. The city is largely abandoned and serves as a gathering place for squatters, survivors, and shady characters who deal in shady businesses. The roads to the city have long been blocked off, but some adventurous drivers know a few shortcuts through the city to save gas and time on their way to the beach along the south shore, and social media channels that focus on exploring old ruins will often record expeditions into the abandoned town. For the average Joe though, the city sits on the horizon as an irremovable reminder in the Quad-City Area of the immense differences between the people of this world, and the danger that awaits them if they cannot figure out a way to live together in peace.

Years later, a new fourth city "Central City" was constructed in the center of Upton, East Side, and Westberg in response to the South Town Riot tragedy. A shopping/commerce-only district where Micros, Standards, Mega are free work and hangout together at their heart's content. Some fear that it'll be doomed to be the epicenter of a new tragedy, but others remain confident that the future of Central City looks bright!
