My experience is that good communication > forstalls the need of a paper policy. It's interesting, because the reason we're starting these early is because of a whole bunch of people on this list saying how they wish they had worked on these things before move-in, and how hard it was to have people with differing expectations, etc, after they had already moved in to the place. > Um.

I would > hate it if we had a policy restricting them from living here. I'm not looking to ban guns, actually. I'm looking to clarify the circumstances under which it's ok to have them. > Anyway... just a few extra thoughts on a late Friday afternoon.
