I have been trying to figure out how that would work form a socio-economic standpoint but I can't figure out conditions that would math all the observed facts.
facts:
1) Large parts of the city are abandoned. Entire sectors are abandoned, not pieces here and there. Unless the situation is extremely bad this means people have been forcefully moved.
2) The ground fores headquarters is relatively new and incredibly huge.
3) When seen from above the city seems omgwtf huge.
4) The city when seen form hayates window at night seems to have most windows lit uniformly and a little dim, possibly a reflection from elsewhere. this might just be an animation error though.
5) Large government agencies (the TSAB) still where building new offices there relatively recently.
6) Crime is low, which means people are not yet desperate, otherwise a beat up girl in a dark alley would be a common sight, which it clearly isn't.
What I come up with is a city that was thriving less than 10 years ago to now become a virtual ghost town for some reason, with large sections closed off so they could shutdown the sewers and other utilities to those sections. But none of the indicators that would lead to such a state, unless there was a flu pandemic a few years ago, and 90% of the people died. But I think we would have heard of such a minor detail by now...
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
