He wouldn't have minded until he smelled the literal river of shit running underneath the place, after that he wanted nothing to do with it.

how about adding an action to encourage migration from king's landing to sorcerer's deep and the Steppe stones there has always been a concern that the new capital is more essosi then westerosi this should even things out a bit more pluse further along the settlement of the other islands while also reliving some of the runaway population density of king's landing which will ease the reconstruction efforts which will be massive considering the city will need a total rebuild just to install a sewer system and fix its wonky lay out alone

We are constantly encouraging migration each month, both to SD and to the edges of the Imperium.
Gotta get those settlers moving on the Essosi Trail, you know?
That said, we don't want or need to import the uneducated, unskilled dregs of King's Landing to SD. Those folks can move right along to the frontiers.

I'm a lot less leery of the King's Landing populace than I used to be. We just pulled off the most epic messiah-like entrance possible, and then to boot the Chosen of the Warrior and the High Septon both publicly pledged themselves to us. That nips the majority of potential issues in the bud. At this stage they're no worse than some random ex-slave in the Essosi hinterlands. The bread dolls alone will have them singing our praises. While Aerys was indeed a Mad King, it was mostly nobles he tortured. The smallfolk were largely ignored. The strongest feelings they aught to have from Robert's Rebellion is hatred of the Lannisters for the Sack of King's Landing.

No Aerys burned plenty of peasants for imagined reasons in fact the nobility didn't revolt until he started going after them proper when he burned a lord paramount alive and strangled his heir

It's a matter of perspective. I meant "Largely ignored" to mean it was random incidents of a maid here or a palace servant there rather than him wiping out entire city sections on a whim. He could have, for example, purged Fleabottom for "offending his nostrils", but he didn't. His psychotic violence was mostly limited to the people directly in front of him.
And even with the Stark incident, a large part of the blame for that has to be placed with Rhaegar and Brandon. Rhaegar shouldn't have eloped with the daughter of one Lord Paramount and the betrothed of another without so much as a by-your-leave. For a Crown Prince who was raised to rule and painstakingly educated in politics that was beyond moronic. And Brandon shouldn't have rode to King's Landing with the most paltry of guards and started shouting for the Crown Prince to "come out and die". Not exactly his brightest moment.
If it wasn't for the above, Aerys would still be a monster... but he'd be a contained monster. He tortured people he could see, he didn't start dynastic wars that depose his entire dynasty.

And now I'm imagining Viserys and Ned bonding over having idiotic, suicidal older brothers.

Ned is just content that Viserys seems to be insane in entirely manageable ways that don't really impact him, his family or the North. And, in fact, seems to be a beneficial insanity, since it's basically "THIS IS MINE, FUCK OFF WINTER".
See now this is the sort of thing that tempts me to write interludes.
In any case, vote closed.
@Azel Is there a reason why we only deal with the Dragon Pit and not all of King's Landing? If you do not mind, could you replace the reconstruction plan with a plan for the global renewal of the city:
[] Develop a general global plan for the reconstruction of the city including the following issues:
-[] Expand, update, and if necessary, re-lay the sewer system, equipping it with all possible cleaning elements. For these works, the ratfolk living under the Sorcerer's Deep are actively involved as consultants, because no one knows the sewers of King's Landing better..
--[] Pave all the streets with paving stone and organize normal drains so that dirt does not flow between the houses
-[] Rebuild the Dragon Pit into a huge colosseum with our Mirror Vision system.
-[] Build a bridge over the Blackwater Rush that doesn't interfere with shipping.
-[] Prohibit the keeping of pigs and cows within the city walls, as well as dyers and distilleries. All owners of such crafts and animals should be offered to move to the Kingswood site specially cleared for a new settlement (judging by the maps, it begins almost immediately after the river, and I strongly doubt that any of us will even want to hunt ordinary animals, especially since we will give only a small area of forest).
- [] Get rid of slum areas like Flea Bottom or those located near the River Gate.
--[] Conduct global raids on the slums by the forces of the Golden Cloaks, the Legalists, and if necessary, even the line units of the Legion. The main voiced reason for the raid will be the presence of illegal activities like drug dens and hidden slave markets, in fact, we will need empty houses to start rebuilding the slums.
--[] On the site of dens and other places of criminal activity, houses will be built in which we will transfer those slum residents whose homes are in the worst condition. After the relocation, their houses will be demolished and new ones will be built instead, for those whose housing conditions are better. And so on until all the slums are updated.
It is clear that this is a long-term plan, but you need to start somewhere.

There shouldn't be ratfolk in King's Landing anymore. We smuggled them all to Sorcerer's Deep a few months ago as new residents of our Undercity.
But they continue to know the King's Landing sewers better than anyone, so I believe their help would be useful to us and not burdensome to them.

Don't worry, dude. We are already planning to do a full overhaul of King's Landing.

Yep. @Sapphon, the city was always going to be fully rebuilt. It's just that the Dragonpit being turned into an arena is the first priority because that's largely how we're going to talk to the residents via MirrorVision.

Below the level of abstraction.
I'm currently pouring an insane amount of work into making these details irrelevant.
