You could have a half submerged New York with the poor and the working classes, to the degree they are seperate, living in muggy, cramped, humid, overheated or clammy cold undersea slums. Which would be very cyberpunk and would probably smell of mold and mildew.
Frankly you could have the cheap end of town consist of the upper decks of otherwise submerged high-rises with the gaps filled in by boat-towns and things built on stilts until they touch something solid...ish...
