Kamhold's hideout

The Bret Kamhold Frontliner Cabal HQ, located at 924 Roseclair Dr. in North Little Rock, AR, is a major location in Swappernetters, as well as its tie-in Frontliner Story Pack for The Sims 4.

Earth-GØ
Built in 1964, this residence has undergone very little in the way of known major changes. In December of 2022, it was placed up for sale.

Earth-G7
Always the rebel, Kamhold may have had to leave behind life as a Navyrope Enforcer due to his age - but the Navyrope Society in him was still very much alive. While Clarion and Hassler were willing to game Arbini's secretaries to maintain an air of legitimacy while plotting to bring the Chrome Kite down, Kamhold chose to take up residence in a house almost no one else wanted. With his own satellite feed via his Navyrope connections handy, Kamhold is only as online as he needs to be, ever - only just enough to keep the mission alive!

Housing Kamhold's cabal
This house became Kamhold's base of operations shortly after he retired from his original mainline duty as a Navyrope enforcer. He scouted, and knew this particular home, not a pleasant location for hosting large parties, was the ideal one to choose for starting his plans for destroying the Tug and overthrowing the Chrome Kite.

He emphasized setting up the garage to run his mission control, while making it uninviting for most. He kept the house mostly the same as he found it upon purchase. Any improvements to the house from its trashed state when he bought it, were the result of various volunteers that he'd hired periodically. Steve Trussel also helped funnel spare funds to Kamhold, to ensure he could always hire help under the table in getting his home fixed up. That being said, he put far less effort into home improvements than did Trista with her cabal HQ.

Due to his lesser popularity than either Trista or Hassler, Kamhold often hired his Frontliners remotely, seldom ever interacting with them in person. He made few exceptions, most notably Jordan Sterlie. He was also fond of Charlie "Chanticleer" Cleems, even though Chanticleer was a parts dealer who operated as a freelancer, independent of the regular cabal system.

Kamhold developed a reputation for hiring Frontliners for especially dangerous jobs, typically performing feats much more dangerous than those performed by Frontliners under Clarion, Hassler, or most any other Frontliner boss.

Demise
However, in response to Bliksemhek's rampage, Clamdor and Arbini's paranoia kicks into high gear. Kamhold's house proves one more casualty of many in the Chrome Kite's war with Bliksemhek.

Nearby early education
Moreso than any other institution, Gina Swinton would weaponize elementary schools, the way woke activists have done in real life. With all the seething passion and hatred of Audrey Hale, the Chrome Kite regime would mercilessly shut down key schools not willing to bend the knee to Gina's demonic curriculum. Schools are listed here according to which ones would be appropriated for the Swinton Curriculum, and which ones would be forced underground or shut down or even blown up by General Clamdor.



Nearby later education
Not counting the whole of Swappernetter society and its underground education operations, there are a few official high schools in Little Rock. While their integrity would be under attack by the Chrome Kite, as of 2023 in real life, the following existed in the Little Rock area just a few miles from Kamhold's house:

High schools


Colleges


Trade schools
The Chrome Kite would likely drive all but a tiny handful of tech schools they could control underground. In spite of this, as of March of 2023, Little Rock had the following tech schools near Trista:

Area crime rate
Note: All data listed here is from 2023, given released FBI statistics. These are only the incidents actually submitted to the FBI after screening by local police reports, and not indicative of all possible incidents that went unreported.

North Little Rock is said to have high crime, though still better than the rate of main Little Rock to the immediate south. Approximately 1 out of every 20 residents has either committed a crime, or been the victim of a crime, at some point.


 * Murder: 20 reported incidents in 2020 (30 per capita)
 * Rape: 16 (24 per capita)
 * Robbery: 97 (200.2 per capita)
 * Assault: 629 (943.4 per capita)
 * Burglary: 369 (553.4 per capita)
 * Standard theft: 1,734 (2600.6 per capita)
 * Vehicular theft: 362 (542.9 per capita)

Kamhold and his Frontliners would still be at fairly high risk of becoming victims of ordinary crime; though they'd still be much safer in his neighborhood than in those of Trista or Hassler. These are only hypothetical odds in regard to ordinary crime, and don't factor in how these statistics would be influenced by the actions of the Mercury Troopers, Screwworms, Feathertop, or any other adversary that a Swappernetter may face.

Because of this, AreaVibes grades North Little Rock a solid F on crime rate statistics. How the Chrome Kite's rule would affect these statistics is up for speculation.

In video games
Before a real-life location was finally selected for the geographical designation of Kamhold's home, a draft of the home based on what it needed was attempted in The Sims 4. It included a hidden foxhole entrance into the back yard, absent from the later build that was based on a real home.

The house needed to look uninviting, so that Kamhold had more control over who his guests were.

Sims 4 specs and game requirements
The early attempt at this house for The Sims 4 was not done with real-world geography in mind. As such, the original build became deprecated from canon inclusion, replaced with the version modeled after 924 Roseclair Dr. Unlike the Clarion residence, Kamhold's homes went to some lengths from the get-go to not require any additional third party custom content.

Notes:


 * Officially, there are only two bedrooms on the property in-game, even though the real house allegedly has three. However, the Murphy bed hidden inside the living room couch debatably makes the living room a third bedroom.
 * This house's interior is speculation, since no photos on Realtor.com existed that showed the interior.

Notes:
 * The living room couch hides a Murphy bed, which doubles as another bedroom.
 * The one bush doubles as a second toilet.

Cost of living
In 2023, the estimated mortgage payment for Kamhold's house was listed on Zillow as being around $275 a month. Even at a much-reduced budget compared to Trista's, Kamhold could feasibly afford this home. This would still leave him with about $55 a month in property taxes to pay. Homeowner's insurance in 2023 would've been an additional $23 a month. Trussel and other financiers in operating Frontliner cabals would've paid Kamhold at least $3,000 a month of under-the-table income for operating a cabal. With odd ways to make money elsewhere, Kamhold could arguably have $4,000 a month in total monthly income. He'd need to be able to afford food, gas, internet, water, electricity, sewer, trash, mobile service, satellite bandwidth service, car insurance, health insurance, and other similar mundane costs, in addition to the costs for home insurance and property taxes, to say nothing of whatever income tax rate the Chrome Kite would set. This would push him to keep himself hidden from public view more, and minimize Chrome Kite suspicion of what he is really doing.

Arguably, Kamhold's sources of income would be even more necessary in the 2030s, assuming the Chrome Kite to be like the Biden regime, due to inflation costs. While The Sims 4 reflects very few of these realities, it's possible that his having the same house in the books or in live action that he has in The Sims 4 would result in his living expenses being even higher yet.
