      Observation? Who the fuck wants to live cheek by jowl with other people if they don't have to?

        Apparently most of America, wants to. Your observation doesn't really mean a whole lot, I could move to Michigan and buy a 10 acre lot for a tenth of what I'd pay here in king county, but I and most of the people that live here don't want to do that....and not only is this my observation - it's a statistical fact.
