Space outside of a city's walls is usually cheaper to rent than space within its walls. - (Dancer of Gor, Chapter 7, Sentence #25)

We had apparently come into the keeping of our wholesaler outside the walls of this city, at a temporary slave camp. Two of the Gorean girls with us had learned, or claimed to have learned, that this avoided the taxes levied on commercial transactions within Brundisium. Similarly, of course, such camps presumably had other values, as well. Space outside of a city's walls is usually cheaper to rent than space within its walls. Too, such camps may be moved about, making them more versatile commercially. For example, they may be shifted to areas where women, perhaps because of large-scale raids or the falls of cities, may suddenly be abundant and cheap, and to areas, too, where there may be an unusual increase in retail demand. It also made them, I suppose, more difficult to trace, if anyone were interested in doing that sort of thing. - (Dancer of Gor)
