Kamhold's hideout

The Bret Kamhold Frontliner Cabal HQ is...


 * 924 Roseclair Dr. North Little Rock, AR 72117

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 hidden residence in a fenced-off property that was off the grid. 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! Now, your Sims can live in this home!

If using a fox hole to leave the property is your idea of an awesome daily commute, then this home may be the place for you! This version of Kamhold's hideout was drafted before serious geography research on Little Rock had been conducted, and is no longer canon to Earth-G7. However, you can still download it.

Earth-GØ
Built in 1905, this residence has undergone a number of revisions, and survived multiple trials of time. In 2014, the home's tax value decreased very rapidly. It recovered some of its value in 2015. In 2022, it was placed up for sale.

Housing Trista's cabal
This house became Trista's base of operations shortly after she retired from Lambrelli Labs. She scouted, and knew this particular home, in need of dire repairs, was the ideal one to choose for starting her plans for destroying the Tug and overthrowing the Chrome Kite.

She emphasized building the catacombs and basement hospital first, wasting very little on other floors of the home until her main operation was up and running.

Any improvements to the house from its trashed state when she bought it, have been the result of various volunteers that she's hired periodically. Steve Trussel also helps funnel spare funds to her, to ensure she can always hire help under the table in getting her home fixed up.

This home becomes the main base of operations for the Twirlflame Trio as well, though they do sometimes take up housing with other cabals. It is gradually updated to better accommodate Chrome Kite architecture demands.

Demise
However, in response to Bliksemhek's rampage, Clamdor and Arbini's paranoia kicks into high gear. They begin launching missiles at targets where they have heard rumors of teens hanging out, in the hopes that they might kill a few Frontliners along the way. Trista and her house are both destroyed by one of these missiles eventually; though that particular missile failed to kill a single Frontliner.

Trista's house being destroyed leads to what's left of the Chrome Kite losing all legitimacy. They do what they can to keep a stranglehold of fear over Arkansas; but ultimately lose when Ciem assists the Twirlflame Trio in finally taking down the Tug. An epic showdown in Little Rock leads to the Chrome Kite finally falling, and to justice finally being served for Trista's death.

Earth-G7.2.1

While Trista's house is eventually destroyed in Earth-G7.2.1 as well, the arrival of Mogabir and Xironooti as incursions into this timeline prevents the Great Battle for Little Rock from occurring. Rappaccini instead assists with the invasion of Dromedeverse pocket realities, taking Feathertop with him. This timeline, unlike Earth-G7, has had prior interactions with the Megaverse as a whole. They become aware of the initial Earth-G7 timeline, but also aware of how history has been broken by Mogabir and Xironooti.

Tabitha Pang's sentence via SCALLOP is commuted, as she and her fellow Twirlflame Trio members are inducted into the Percolation Warriors. While most of the new team is scheduled to meet on Menehune for mission briefings when dealing with the new Multiverse Triumvirate, Tabitha and her team are allowed to claim the house in Little Rock in the Dromedeverse as a secondary base of operations for all Frontliners willing to assist the new Percolation Regulatory Authority, a joint venture of law enforcement agencies across the Megaverse. Similarly, 1205 N. 1st St. is made into a safehouse for the Percolation Warriors. The likes of Vinny Mason and Carly Rancine find it amusing that they get to walk inside near-identical versions of homes that were once of special memory to Tabitha and Candi. Likewise, Geroshans discover Camelorum Correctional and HanomCorp R&D, and find both of these hero bases odd.

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:



Nearby grocers
The following grocers are known to be within reasonable driving distance of Kamhold's house. How many would survive under the Chrome Kite is up for debate.

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 Trista's house was listed on Zillow as being around $747 a month. Assuming that Trista is incredibly wealthy, as her retirement packages would suggest, then she would have had no trouble paying off the house in full. This would still leave her with about $83 a month in property taxes to pay. Homeowner's insurance in 2023 would've been an additional $44 a month. Doing random operations of assisting Trussel and other financiers in operating Frontliner cabals would've earned Trista extra income, allowing her to make at least $3,000 a month of under-the-table income, with other shows of income that would be observed by the Chrome Kite and taxed accordingly. This would put her at a total take-home income of $8,000 a month, able to afford the catacomb construction and renovations on her home that would eventually happen. She'd need to be able to afford food, gas, internet, water, electricity, sewer, trash, mobile 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 her to want to maintain appearances, to keep the Chrome Kite off her back - especially given their penchant to turn to violence so quickly.

Arguably, Trista'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 her having the same house in the books or in live action that she has in The Sims 4 would result in her living expenses being even higher yet.
