Someone in my building doesn't like the new doors.

Sucks, don't it?

My senator voted against it. 1 sane man out of 100. Then again, good ole Russ is on the wrong side of the fence more often than not, but as far as the big picture goes, he was correct.

Maybe that triggers some bad memories for them but I like the idea that. if there's trouble, the district office can contain the drug dealers/pimps/gangbangers/ex-wife abusers and prevent them from escaping until security and the police show up.

in the same moment, they are trapped there, maybe making them reconsider brutally slaughtering everyone else on that floor instead of running away after killing/ maiming the one person they were after... i know, i know... im too paranoid. but im not the one with prison doors at my house.

Affordable Housing? Prison? hmmm.........

Prison and jail have always been better than affordable housing, you get 3 meals and free health care included.

I hope you have 2 or 3 guns to protect yourself cause when they lock the doors up, the bad guys are going to need a hostage.

Do you use locks on your home or car doors?
Passwords for various websites?


We're talking about stronger doors, not taking away something like the right to free speech.

Well, didn't take long to find out what happens when there's a fire. Looks like someone overheated oil in the apartment right below mine. I was about to stay put, thinking it was a false alarm as usual, but someone said they were seeing smoke so we evacuated the building.

The doors did not appear to lock (I'm not sure that they actually can - can't find anything on the door itself except for maybe the weird hinge).

Three fire trucks came and they took a long look inside the building. They went outside to peer into the apartment below mine but it looks like whatever smoke someone saw must not have been very much as the big fan they had brought outside remained unused. That fan needed to be used a few years ago when someone at the end of my corridor cooked chicken directly into the oven without placing a pan underneath to gather the grease. The oven caught fire and there was a lot of black smoke. The tissues were blackened when I blew my nose afterwards.


I can still smell some faint burnt/overheated oil though.
