The Brick House
THE BRICK HOUSE
Nobody wants a brick house on their block. I’ve seen them, in the economy neighbourhoods down the hill, looming empty and dark on the otherwise gleaming tiara of a street. My neighbour Milton told me on the day I moved in that our neighbourhood hadn’t had a brick house in three years (the best record in the area, except New Lancaster, of course). B. Corp. keeps community standards high by being rigorous about who can rent in their neighbourhood. It took me years to escape the wait list, but the restless nights on creaking emergency beds were worth it: no brick houses here.
