to me its a health hazard unless involved indecent *sexual* exposure. ie, an adult parking his/her car outside of an elementary school or anywhere for the matter with genitalia unclothed would likely be a sexual offense however the same person into their car at the beach parking lot caught taking off their wet trunks and slippin into dry trunks, or vice versa, or maybe even urinating in the nearby bushes isn't sexual (except to a sexually obsessed society that loves to associate natural nudity with sexuality).i notice at alot of the beaches' changing rooms around here in socal, alot/most of the guys walk around freely naked and even aroused. must be a western thing?

I think millennials will create a shift in the brokerage industry, but I'm not quite sure what it will be.

On the other hand, putting a whole band (or their roadies) in all four units would probably work well, as perhaps would housing all people looking to re-enter society (also a worthy goal btw)..

The answer if two fold really: (1) A detailed consumer report takes a certain expertise and successor and (2) in today's litigious society it only makes sense to have such and important task completed by professionals.
