Line 65:
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the poor lower levels of New New York in the episode "Gridlock," complete with vendors selling mood-altering substance patches.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Suicide Slums]] in [[Smallville|Metropolis]]
* Played with in the third season of ''[[The Wire]]''. Hamsterdam (a legalized drug zone, with all of the unpleasantness you'd think that implies, and a bit more) is made as far away as possible with it still being accessible to street dealers. It's still not far enough so that
