I went with something a little different this time. In reality I don't really think this place would work out. This complex would hold a huge population, but there are several drawbacks to the location. The biggest being the lack of access to water, which is almost deal breaker right away.
The structures above are renovated dormitories at the University of Cincinnati. When I attended classes there, these were absolute dumps. Obviously, they look much better now. Securing a population in these towers would be fairly simple. Secure the bottom floor and riflemen, along with booby traps, on the roof would certainly help deter attackers.
The large surface area of the roofs could help with water collection. It would take quite a bit, but a series of barrels, gutters channeling the water down, etc. could get a good amount during a rain. Depending on rain can be bad though and this area is several miles from the river.
The area above could be used as farm land by clearing out these trees. While the entire area would be difficult to completely secure, there are plenty of tall buildings in the area to use as lookouts with rifleman.
Using the above picture to highlight the buildings surrounding the area. There would be plenty of storage room and areas for expansion if more people moved in. I'm no engineer, but I wonder if the storm water run off in the sewers could be captured someone. There has to be a way to populate areas like this.
Above is Burnet Woods. There is a lake in the park that is fairly big, but I just feel that if you had too many people you would deplete it too quickly. It's something though, but hauling water back and forth would be tedious. Another good thing about the park is that there are animals like squirrel and deer there at times, but once again, with a large group of people this probably wouldn't last.
In conclusion, this would not be a good place to settle in my opinion. Anyone think otherwise?
