The Blocks of 142 are named for reasons that only a kook-cube inmate would appreciate; in fact, it's common theory, amongst the citizens of 142, that this is where the City Hall Computer, Barney, routinely canvasses for ideas when a newly built Block is up for naming. Unorthodox as it may be, this would go a long way to explain why most of the Sector's housing is named for a variety of psychos, serial killers, criminals and politicians. The local chapter of the MC² (Mega-City Concerned Citizens) have pointed out that this "unhealthy focus on negative role-models simply cannot be good for the mental well-being of the Sector's inhabitants".
