The Hotel California (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The houses, streets and neighborhoods are indistinguishable from one another in College Area, San Diego. Landlords tear down garages to barricade a sixth bedroom, maximizing momentary rental value at the expense of permanence and character. The lawns of these identical one-story homes are a novelty for men with washboard abs completing Canvas assignments on lawn chairs.
