No joke.
Whimpering, whining, hand wringing, liberal, government dependent citizens of Olympia, Washington.
Urbanites are an amusing culture. Anywhere else, the coons would just go away, and neighbors would wink at each other and nod. Just break a bag of Purina dog chow in the middle of the back yard and assemble the jury on the back porch. No problem.
Olympia is a small town, I'd not call even the middle of it ~urban~, though I do get your meaning.
