This is not a repost from 2007. It seems that low interest rates are contributing to what some economists think is a bubble in some countries.

MEOW NIX: Homeowners want ‘crazy cat lady’ to quit feeding strays - NY Daily News: Frustrated homeowners reached out to Community Board 8 and the Fresh Meadows Homeowners Civic Association seeking help to rid the area of the feral cats earlier this month. But because feeding strays is legal up until they become a “nuisance,” the city’s Health Department has yet to act.

Caught on Camera: San Marino Mayor Tosses Bag of "Dog Doo" on Neighbor's Walkway | NBC Southern California
Caught on Camera: San Marino Mayor Tosses Bag of "Dog Doo" on Neighbor's Walkway | NBC Southern California:
"Homeowner Philip Lao says that surveillance footage shows Kneier and his wife walking. In the video, Kneier’s wife is seen pointing to Lao’s walkway, and then Kneier is seen tossing the bag onto it.
Lao believes that Kneier was seeking revenge for his opposition to the mayor’s dog park proposal. Lao is against the dog park because he believes dogs are left there for hours as their owners run errands, and the dogs tend to fight when left unattended.
Lao lives a block away from Lacy Park, and as such, has "no poop zone" signs in his front lawn. According to Lao, Kneier does not like him posting signs like that, but Lao believes it is his right as a homeowner. Lao told the city council that when people take down their USC and UCLA signs, he’ll take down his "no poop zone" signs."

Well, of course. USC and UCLA signs---"no poop zone" signs--whatever, dude. It is astonishing how petty these neighborhood disputes become, but the evidence mounts up.

Woman, 68, And Male Partner Busted For Public Sex At Florida Retirement Community | The Smoking Gun
Perhaps this was just a case of misunderstanding the advertising:
The Villages, which describes itself as “Florida’s Friendliest Retirement Hometown,” has more than 50,000 residents. The community’s three old-fashioned town squares offer a variety of shopping, dining, and theater options. Additionally, free nightly entertainment--which ends at 9 PM--is offered in the squares, where the official performers are clothed.
