I understand that, but there's at least one
other map (not sure if it's even from an official source) seems to contradict it. In which case Cyberpunk 2020 is like any other fictional setting where creators often make continuity errors.
Though, I have to admit, reading about Night City in detail makes me want to consider the real life Morro Bay area more. As cool as the descriptions were in the RPG.net thread I linked to, I think the idea of creating a whole new city- a whole new culture- a whole new economy out of a backwater coast is cool. Taking one bit of California frontier, and turning it into a cyberpunk urban hellscape.
So fine, maybe I'll be a convert to the west-of-SLO Night City setting.
