The residential area in Adoulin doesn't make any senseFollow

A few things have been bothering me about the residential area in Adoulin. It's missing some important things.

1. You can exit to Eastern or Western Adoulin, but there is an oceanic channel in between the two zones.
2. There are no doors in Western Adoulin. There are no doors in Eastern Adoulin. There appears to be a ramp down behind the entrance in Eastern Adoulin, but no similar ramp in Western Adoulin.
3. Instead, there is a roped off area at the end of Western Adoulin. On the other side is water, then the wall surrounding Adoulin.
4. It's clearly not connected to the other zone via the sea wall either. The ramp down to Rala Waterways shows that the sea wall ends south of the city, I assume to leave a gap large enough for giant ships to come in (although the docks are on the other side Eastern Adoulin and Big Bridge is not a drawbridge. Hmmmm.)

Compare this to every other city with mog houses. Windurst? Big central area. Jeuno? Big central area. Bastok? Big central area. Aht Urghan? Big area all on the south side of both zones. San d'Oria? Big area all on the east side of both zones.

Adoulin? South side of both zones with a 1/4 mile wide oceanic channel in between them. Unless the two zones are connected under water, there is no @#%^ing way you can exit from either zone by walking.

Conclusion: Adoulin's housing crisis is so bad they're putting adventurers in the sewers, and they're so cheap the exit to Western Adoulin apparently involves you climbing a rope ladder.

If you talk to Danueugbert just outside the rent a room entrance in Western Adoulin, he explains that you're actually taking boats to rent a rooms on small islands.

Hire a Galka to throw you across the channel. It'll save you time.

Get an Elvaan with STR merits and you'll never have to worry about falling short. Overshooting maybe, but never falling short.
