I opened the mailer and threw it away. The return address was “Planning Department, Town of Carrboro”. As a city planning student, I thought I would have been more intrigued. But the notice was for a zoning change in a neighborhood I knew nothing about, despite the fact I live just across the train tracks in a North Greensboro Street apartment.
I live with 7 housemates. When I tell that to people, sometimes their mouths go agape.
“Seven?!” they’ll wonder or say aloud in surprised disbelief.
“Yeah, seven, and I like it that way.”
