You cannot use the backyard to grill in the summer or vegetarians will complain. Octogenarians regularly forget their keys in the mailbox units and residents can be seen holding their walkers, wandering down the hallway like a scene from Night of the Living Dead. The residents are wholly cordoned off from the community and are viewed by locals...
