TheGamer posts a short article confirming a conversation between two rando NPCs on the street show the rich hunt the homeless, poor for sport in Night City. Dystopia indeed, here is a snip;
If you thought this was a horrifying discovery, then don't worry, because it gets far worse. In the full context of the conversation, the pair are both Corpos, discussing ways to bring some excitement back into their dull, work-centric lives. When the guy asks how they avoid the police while homeless hunting, the woman says that the NCPD has "bigger problems than a few forgotten meatbags," heavily implying that they simply don't care enough to intervene.
While never explicitly mentioned in the main story, a quick walk around any block in Night City will reveal just how hostile Night City is to anyone forced to sleep on the streets. Almost every bench in the game is an example of anti-homeless architecture, fitted with obtrusive spikes and bars that make it impossible for anyone to comfortably rest on. Sidewalks are littered with similar obstacles too, forcing the homeless into more crime-ridden neighbourhoods, often setting up makeshift homes underneath motorways and busy roads.
