Population: too many cats. Zoning: residential, chaotic. Property values: unstable, thanks to fire damage. Now touring: the lot with the missing pool ladder.

Welcome to Pleasantview Heights

The lot: a 2×2 palace that never finished construction, three bookshelves deep in a rug-flooring argument I lost on purpose. The mailbox is decorative — nobody in this neighborhood reads mail, they just panic-click it during a fire.

Residents: Ossilda, matriarch of the household, permanently stuck between "Flirty" and "Grouchy" depending on whether the toilet is clogged. She has outlived three husbands, two stoves, and one very ambitious flamingo lawn ornament.

Neighborhood Gossip

  • Ossilda's Cooking skill is maxed, her Kitchen is not fireproof. Coincidence? No.
  • The pool ladder was removed "for maintenance" in 2003. It has not been reinstalled.
  • Someone keeps setting every clock in the house to 3:33am. Suspect: the flamingo.
  • Local legend says if you say rosebud ;!;!;!;!;! three times, the fridge restocks itself.

This lot is a permanent work in progress — half memorial, half sandbox, all chaos. Come back later, there might be a new extension, or the house might be on fire again.
