    A closed city or town is a settlement where travel or residency restrictions are applied so that specific authorization is required to visit or remain overnight.

    The USA version of this is a sundown town. The reason is racism.

    And because I respect you (and I’m not a monster) I altered the URL to point to the main article and not the mobile version. Ffs, people, just delete two characters.

      Ehh not really. One is a cultural thing the other is a state issued piece of legal code.

      Sundown towns are real but they’re not really an american specific thing either. Tons of places on the planet will target you based on cultural shit. Closer Cities are some fascist ass shit
