details in a tiny world

It's been a while since I've given a progress report on life after the mugging. Somehow mugging sounds like it should be a little funny, so I'll say it was a robbery assault, because it reflects much better what it really was. That event of course, was followed almost immediately by the loss of homes by neighbours a block away when the city decided to close their building for not having been properly maintained. This is when I learned the local residents association (note these do not include anyone who might be renting their home) was on the warpath against any building they deemed a nuisance because it was a lower sort of person living there and the police had to be called when things got loud. They chucked us all in together instead of focusing on dealing with being good neighbours they instead became spies and complainers with the city on speed dial. The city is looking for additional space to develop before the Olympics so our neighbourhood is prime for that sort of development. It would increase the property value of the "residents" if we were moved out and something more upscale replaced our aging building.
