I'd like to know in what areas do your characters live. My mage lives
B/downtown and most of the other Runners in A!

Does this have good/bad influence on the lifestyle/secrecity of
the runners in your game?

Actually, I think it reflects the outlook of a GM on running. If a GM sees
it like "independent crime lords" then B or even A is appropriate, but
otherwise there should be very little reason for any runner to be above
the middle class (C) and most will likely be in the Lower Middle/Lower/
Working class (D/E) if only because it's less flashy than a downtown
mansion, and less obviously criminal than a Barrens hellhole.
