I've played in games before where the standard background count for almost everyplace in the city was -1, and areas with -2 were fairly common. Alternately, I've played games where almost the whole city was BC=0, with only the most toxic areas getting a -1 or -2. What's the general consensus on DS for what BC each area should start with?
