I based my claim on Mr. Grossbach citing "painting your house whatever
color you wanted" as a symptom of lack of community and life in the
suburbs. The fact that he painted his house a light and dignified purple
has little bearing on whether he desires to control that aspect of our
community as well.
I believe his words are a better gauge of his opinions than the color of
his house. But, like I said, maybe you subscribe to some mystical
mind-reading technique that uses the color of one's house.
