I was just thinking about possible new locations for LCS, and then I thought about a "dynamic" location: the Convention Center.
It would be dynamic in that not only would the available conventions depend on laws, but also circulate around the year. Each one would be anywhere from a day to a week long. Each one would be announced with a newspaper headline (Liberal Guardian or other) before it arrived. Some ideas:

(Note: The issue ranks listed with ^ are minimum, where L+ is the top. Those with v are below)

Gaming/Computer Convention: C^ Free Speech, C+^ Privacy Rights. Full of programmers, gamers, and something along the lines of "nerd". About even political spread, slightly more liberals.

Furry Convention: M^ Free Speech, M^ Animal Rights. Full of "furries". Primarily liberal.

Science-Fiction Convention: Always there. Sells "phasers", which, like the "Mithril" armor, look impressive but don't actually work. Even political spread.

Car Convention: Always there. Sells various types of cars. Mechanics of all political alignments, as well as conservative businesspeople, can be found here.

Gun Convention: Mv Gun Control. Sells guns, especially the harder-to-obtain (but legal) ones. Obviously, most people here are conservatives, namely police and the various types of white trash. At C+ Gun Control and Cv Military Spending, it becomes the Weapons Expo, with a lot of heavily armed cops, mercenaries, and soldiers.

Business Convention: Mv Corporate Law, Lv Tax Structure. Full of businesspeople and, at C+ Corporate Law, their mercenary bodyguards.

I had the same exact idea, but I had never typed it out. I'd prefer it cycle conventions once a month in a set pattern. I'd also revise it so that issues effect conventions less.

Locksmith's convention: A big bunch of locksmiths of various alignments crowd around inspecting new models of locks, and an upgrade for your safehouses you can only get there (not sure what).

More importantly, it should allow training of lockpicking.

Maybe while each convention is running, different options are available in the "select action" menu, with learning from the various conventions being possible.  This would lend itself well to one-month-long conventions.

Set the number of conventions to 12, and each convention is held only if the laws permit, otherwise no convention.  There is one option: Participate in convention, which has sub-options based on the convention.  The sub-option of "simply observe" would allow learning whatever skills are available from the convention, with a fee for attending.

The advantages of such a system are enormous.  For instance, this allows liberals to learn gun skills at the gun convention, but it is not as powerful as having a shooting range, where most liberals would be outed and banned if they attended for more than a month (if you believe the world is as strictly political as depicted in LCS).

It'd be pretty cool if this were implemented.

Maybe a safe so you will never lose money from raids?

That would require that the LCS kept their safehouses after raids, but lost their money.  It's currently reversed (Sometimes the LCS loses their safehouse, but the funds are never touched: Thank the Elite Liberal Swiss Bank Account).
