So the past few days, Housing Complex took a little break from reporting about, um you know, housing. Instead I focused on pedicabs, inaugural garb, and empty restaurants. It was a nice little break: Rihanna made her Housing Complex debut, and we’ve got a nice little debate going about fur coats (tacky or no? The controversy roars on).

But today I’m getting back on track. Goodbye inauguration tangent. Hello development battles, neighbor squabbles, the Bloomingdale listserv (and perhaps a final inauguration rentals post).
