Liberty City

This article is still under construction. Liberty City is a large city situated on the north-east coast of the United States in the state of Liberty. The city exists of three boroughs, being Shoreside Vale, Staunton Island and Portland.

History
Liberty City was established in 1798, and the town limits were just about at the southern tip of Staunton Island. The town was a cow pasture with a church and few houses all up until the phone was invented in 1876. Immigrants and other Americans started moving into the city and Liberty City grew rapidly. By 1890, most space in Staunton Island was already built out. Large tenement buildings and tall buildings scattered the wide streets on the island. As of 1910, most businesses and companies in Liberty State had their headquarters and operations from Liberty City. The other boroughs of Shoreside Vale and Portland was soon developed after there was no space on Staunton Island. Portland was built as a working class haven for the new industries and production factories that were located in the borough. With the Portland Harbor came many job opportunities. Immigrants flocked to the city through the entire early 20th century.

Most of Shoreside Vale was protected by private interests and didn't see much development until the 1950's as it was the home of the political and economic elite. Pressure from the ordinary citizens from skyrocketing land prices made the city council re-zone the Shoreside Vale borough and gave about 50% of the landmass for lower class residential and industrial development.

Transportation
The city government is known to invest more on transportation than social issues, and it's easily seen in the city public transport system. As of today, Liberty City has one of the best transport systems in the United States. The three boroughs are connected by both tunnels and bridges, each usually four lanes wide. The city streets are usually wide and straight, allowing for heavy traffic volumes. The transport systems are mostly operated and maintained by the Liberty City Transport Commission.

Tunnel
The Porter Tunnel, constructed between 1987 and 2001, is a inter-borough tunnel system that connects all the boroughs with eachother.

Subway and train
The city has two subway lines, the Portland El and the Liberty City Subway. The Portland El sorrounds the residential neighbourhoods of Portland through a elevated line, meanwhile the Liberty City Subway acts as a inter-borough link.
