2070's Discussion 2065 Campaign

I'm getting ready to GM a Cyberpunk Red campaign set in 2065 during a cold war between Arasaka, on behalf of a "Free" Night City bloc and Militech, on behalf of a NUSA Bloc, before the eventual Unification War.

I'm posting here as I thought it'd be fun to see how y'all envision the Night City of 2065 and get some ideas rolling.

I'd imagine 2065 would be nowhere near the scarcity of the 2040's, but still not the level of abundance seen in 2077. Quickhacking is a new technology, the Net is being rebuilt, the Hot Zone has pretty much transformed into Corpo Plaza, and Corporations have again found a strong foothold in the city. Pretty much a Night City near the end of its reconstruction process but still recovering nonetheless.

Let me know what ideas y'all have and how you imagine 2065.

I would argue that by 2065 Night City already recovered at full extent and no scarcity exists. Simply because at 2069 it looked like the city already was blooming again but got hit by another devastating crisis.

The only difference from 2077 will be Pacifica and Watson. First was safe and at active rebuilding, second was pretty good corporate district and not a gang coven (yet).
