Great story. One problem with fighting these people is that most people have jobs and don't have the time to fight these busibodies 24/7. The busibodies full time job is to meddle in this way.

Does anyone have a good "negative" word for the opposite of spawl? I want something that expresses the feeling of "too many rats in too small of cage" in one word.

First of all NEKAWA, great job.

To answer your question Karl, how about 'shrinkage'?

Constriction..
2 words.. "Urban Constriction"...

It conveys not only that oppressive "tightening" in of one's freedom of movement, but also has the added implication of "suffocation".. and death..
