IIRC she lives in the Bronx. Where landlords view tenants 
*voluntarily* moving out as the *most* welcome, unexpected, blessing 
from heaven. A landlord blessed with a vacant apartment can demand a 
schmier from *each* applicant and make the best few bid against each 
other, bidding up the rent. To a level that makes getting bad tenants 
in exchange for good tenants a good bargain. Wasn't Chicago like that?

I've been following the discussion of toilet training with great joy 
that I am child-free, but I don't know what 'pull-ups' are. I 
checked on-line dictionaries and found only two definitions: 1) 
chin-ups, 2) cheap 'n' cheerful roadside 'cafes' for lorry drivers.
