In many places, including here in Fairfax County, Virginia, the

houses they owned here because there was "too much clutter"
*indoors*, not visible from the street.

Who filed the complaint?

If I recall correctly, it was the guy who reads the electric meter or
the gas meter.

Well, there was a fire recently in Arlington where the firefighters
had trouble putting it out because the owner of the condo had stacks
of paper all over. She didn't seem to be the kind of person who has
stacks of stuff and tunnels through, but apparently it was a *lot* of
paper.

Seems to me that sufficiently filled bookshelves could act the same. I
know that most anything I have "stacked" around would be on a book
shelf if I had more of them.
