At long last, the East Hampton Town Board is expected to reduce the cap on houses relative to the size of a given piece of land.

The Bouvier Beales of Grey Gardens had raccoons in the parlor but they also had certain pretentions. They floated in time in a rather detached fashion, losing track of its passing days, weeks, months, years, decades, and centuries, and I understand and sympathize, especially when it comes to yard maintenance.

No rest for the realty.
