Cliffside Dwellings

| Large
cities tend to develop smaller, spin-off communities,
sometimes in places no one would imagine people might
live. This is certainly true of Cape Suzette, where a
few brave souls leave the hustle and bustle of the mainland
for a house with a view of the cliffside! Each
wall of the narrow channel is pocked with crevices holding
huts and bungalows, linked into a vertical village by
tunnels and elevators within the rock face, and rope bridges
and walkways without. Life as a cliff dweller is not for
everybody (if planes flying right past your front porch
unnerve you). Most inhabitants moved here because the
cost of housing is so low, joining the cliff gunners and
their families on the sides and also the top of the cliffs.
A handful of retired gun tenders inhabit tiny shelters
on the outer cliff side facing the ocean, as well. |

it ever so narrow, there's no place like home. |
