The deed restriction/city inspector Nazis declaring the little red box as some kind of building/easement violation. Book lending without a permit. I can see it now.

As a philistine yuppie-bot who lives in a modern 3-story townhome myself, I can attest to being all those things that you listed and worse. That is, I am that way only when I am removed from my docking station and switched to the 'On' position. The rest of the time I am a much more tolerable human being. Bernard,

Based on my 20k clicks (yes, really, don't ask me how I know) on Swamplot over the last few years, I could have sworn that anyone living in a newly built townhouse in the Heights must be an mindless, insipid, yuppie without any sense of right or wrong, human decency, architectural appropriateness, neighborliness, community spirit, or any other redeeming qualities. I thought all the smart and sophisticated people lived in bungalows and refused to sell to evil developers. I guess I was misled. Great idea… but I’m confused.
