Rescue greyhounds for sure. Key highlights:

- they're usually 2-5 years old and therefore are already crate-trained so you won't have to worry about housebreaking your puppy while living on the 20th floor.
- they're sprinters, so they're easily tired out and they sleep a lot.
- they have fairly low key personalities (in general) so aren't hyper-excitable (the complete opposite of a Jack Russell)
- they've been well socialized with other dogs and people (handlers, trainers, owners, vets, maintenance staff, etc) and are not aggressive (in general) so crossing paths with another dog or person in a narrow hallway or elevator should have less drama.
- I had one that I never heard bark, which will surely keep your neighbours happy.

A DIY route would be to build a box to hide the cables and the cable box. Minimizing the dimensions would mean standing the cable box on its side, with the bottom of the unit facing the wall. It could then be covered by a box that's slightly wider than the cable box is deep, and slightly deeper than the cable box is high.

Example cable box dimensions: 18"W x 3"H x 8"D
Example DIY enclosure dimensions: 10"W x h"H x 4"D
(where h=the distance from the floor to the bottom of your TV)

So there would be 3 or 4 pieces:
1 @ 10" x h"
2 @ 4" x h"
1 @ 10 " x 4" (optional shelf for the cable box)

I'm not debating whether the law is good or not, I'm simply pointing out that their (very public) advice is likely illegal for most readers of this site.

If I outsourced something, I'd expect it to not only free extra time, but free head-space as well.

Outsourcing laundry doesn't seem to save much time, but would consume far more head-space than doing it myself (doing laundry, being the brainless activity that it is). That translates to no laundry outsourcing for me.

I tell them to stop harassing me, and ask whether they plan on forcibly removing me in order to enforce their policy.

I'm not a bike-lover, or a bike-hater, but the title would be more accurate if it read, "Why Bikes are the World's Most Common Vehicle".

"Popular", implies that people prefer them over other choices. The reality is they're often the only choice ... which makes them common.
