Hysterical. I loved this bit...

“But the exceptional attractiveness of the artificial shrubs and turf, and the fact that they require no water and virtually no maintenance except for occasional dusting, finally won everyone over.”

"Benson added that “the elderly do love their bocce,” so at least one bocce court will also be included, probably between the basketball court and the creek. Dale Rutkowski took sharp exception to Benson’s remark... ... Benson apologized; after a brief discussion it was decided to henceforth refer to older Hyde Parkers as ‘oldsters.’ "
