Overweight apartments

Just like all people have an ideal weight, I tend to think of apartments in New York as also having an ideal weight. There is a certain amount of stuff that ought to be in each apartment, and not more, nor less. When something gets thrown out, I tend to think of the apartment as gaining weight, and when something gets brought in, I tend to think of it as gaining weight. In general when you have hit an ideal weight, you ought to strive to maintain that balance. If you bring in too many books, you ought to read some and store them somewhere. If you brought in a painting, you need to remove an old one. Clutter, is excess weight, and seems unhealthy.
