One of the things I don't miss about living in NYC is having to deal with office buildings and apartment buildings! I used to live in a fourth-floor walkup in Brooklyn. When my kids were toddlers, the co-op board decided that strollers wouldn't be allowed in the building. (Mine was the only stroller, of course.) I was made to store the stroller in the basement, and would have to retrieve it out of the basement and put it back every day in order to use it. People are idiots.
