| Absolutely; we even have cards created by a neighbor that let us
| communicate to other neighbors our preferences for whether/how they
| should move our laundry along to the drier so they can get on with
| their wash without delay.

I did the move-the-wash-along thing too when I lived in apartment
complexes, and that's not what I meant.  I was referring to the fact
that not all people feel comfortable washing all of their bridal
shower gifts in public.

Why build a community where only people with a less than average need
for privacy feel comfortable?
