As far as apartments in the cities on the Bark are concerned, the Tryker ones are clearly underwater, and the Zorai ones are somewhere else. I always figured that the Matis ones were up in the trunks, and the Fyros ones in Thesos are in the big building, the ones in Dyron are underground and the ones in Pyr, well, could be either.
The main question is...who built the cities/towns/whatever? Bandits? What are the bandits raiding? Bandits are a disease of society, not independent. If gangs of thugs are camping in the wilderness they aren't bandits, they're just surviving.
This is a strong argument against using the old starter islands . Another is that the starter islands (if I have been told correctly) had environments like the actual lands, so the Fyros one had cliffs and the tryker one had cliffs and lakes, etc.. This is not consistent with the environment of the Canopy. If there were cliff-like structures up there, we could see them. (A solution to *that* argument is that the new new lands are recently discovered "islands", not the Canopy.)
