> Don’t worry — I’m sure the scum feel pretty much the same about you. Quite possible, and that's part of the point I'm making. There's no communality, everyone just wants to have as little to do with their neighbor as possible. Even if it turns out that quite a few of these neighbors (me included) do not throw parties, do not smoke inside, do not drink and fool around, do not have loud kids or animals, do not throw trash around and break things in shared spaces, don't blast music at 3 AM... There's too many people for people to care, kind of? And a bunch of bad apples ruin it for everyone.
