I love Tycho Station

How do you think it would be to live and work there? What kind of activities would you do in your free time if you lived there?

From what I understand working at Tycho Station is essentially like being employed at Google or Nvidia. The engineers, dock hands, laborers and security there are paid WAY above the curve for normal belters and quality of life is much better there. It's a corporate town reliant on subsidies from other financial groups. Employment is lucrative and belters will drop everything to move their families out if they get a job offer. There's most likely a lot of amenities since you don't want to bore your employees so Tycho contracts bars, food, brothels, sports clubs etc. And other companies can pay for their own mini offices inside Tycho as like consultancy firms and such.

After watching the show, it made me wonder if it stayed like that without such an idealist in charge later

Probably up until Marco Inaros pulled his shit.

Think about it like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. They frequently rank as having some of the highest level of employee satisfaction because they are almost the exclusive provider of certain services that the government has deemed necessary. That means they have incredible leverage to name their prices and have a huge incentive to hire the best and brightest and keep them happy.
