The new building............I never thought

and you claim it is not about the new building but yet your thread title says otherwise.  

And nobody has to turn away --- they can look but your "friend" is the one complaining about what they see.  

Building mentioned so as to free the Library from any doubts that the anatomy lesson might have

taken place there

 She is out of the line of sight of the adjacent building

Are you suggesting that someone is exaggerating again?

the number is merely a metaphor, not meant to imply an exact measurement.


there's the old joke about the woman who calls the police on her neighbor, complaining that he's committing indecent exposure by standing naked in front of his open window  So the cops show up and the woman let them in and tells them they've arrived at the right moment.  He's exposing himself right now!  So the cops head into the woman's bedroom and they look over at the neighbor's house.  They see a guy from the chest up, not wearing a shirt.  So the cop turns to the woman and says "I'm sorry ma'am, but from here you can only see the guy from the chest up, so that's not indecent exposure." The woman replies "It definitely is indecent exposure if you stand on that chair over there!"

No chair needed in this case...............I suppose a loin cloth would have worked had he thought he was

Well in fairness there is no disputing that the building management not only allows but encourages & facilitates nudity inside their building. Doubt me? Explain the showers in every single unit. Fact, people. Mic drop, that’s a wrap.

I can't argue with any of that.

My point is that your neighbor in your building can eliminate the problem by having and using suitable window treatment in her window.

And she is holding a towel strategically.

Best advice I’ve gotten on that, which applies here, is to treat anything that may present itself before you as you’d treat the sun. Look at it just long enough to acknowledge it’s presence and radiance, then look away before any damage can be done.

That is very good. I am going to remember it.

I thought I had pretty much exhausted all comments regarding the C building until now.

No one here believes that. 

Actually your are right.  But I have kept my silence lately and found this just unacceptable behavior

Would you have mentioned it if it had been a neighbor in one of the old buildings in town?


this is a vindication for the woman at the TC meeting a couple of years back who was freaked out over the possibility that pedestrians might get a glimpse of people in the Clarus undressing.


I want to say you've got to be kidding, but I know you're not.


Geez - don’t be a peeping Tom and look in other peoples homes!

The deal is the C building totally dominates what can be seen from the rear apts in the Village Coffee Building.   Even to check the weather ............there it is.  The only alternative is never to look out our        Northern facing windows again.   Ain't going to happen                


These are the times that try mens soles...........and other body parts

With apologies to my mentor Tom Paine

Unacceptable behavior?  What’s unacceptable is that you are now here feigning rage on another persons behalf. 


I can confirm your status as village ignorant curmudgeon is intact. 


Touche for the manipulative intro, emphasizing the woman's disability (poor lady, she can't look away!!!).

And you sir come to some half you know what conclusions.  My neighbor was genuinely upset.  You need to

accept that different people have different sensitivities .   Rage?  You ain't seen nothing yet.

She can ............but she should not have to.   Is that too difficult a concept to comprehend?

I think her rights to look out her window and not see what most people consider to be offensive behavior

supersede his rights to bare all 6 inches from a large window equipped with window shades that he prefers

to leave in the up position during his  showing of  his equiptment to the public
