you do know it's not -70 degrees on the entire night-side of the planet, right? That beside, people can be creative, like yes, it's mostly one big-arse refugee camp, but it's also happens to have a freeport, and vital trade artery to Bretonia right next door.
Why not on Cambridge? I think that bretonian upper class is highly elitist, and it's already ang agri-planet for the most part. They simply don't want filthy disgusting refugees on their land.
On a final note, that many people don't live in tents, probably. I mean modern day concrete printed and modular houses exist, and if all else fails, shipping containers could be repurposed. Personally I've RP'd it as a gigantic shanty town
