Parents apparently live close to the Outpost Foods store. Poor Jake lives in the basement I suspect and can ride his trike to work.
His house is around the corner from the Outpost co-op. It is in a rather nice suburban community just over the border from the city of Milwaukee. The Outpost is at the corner of 69th and State St. His house is just north of State St. on 71st.
The area is a relatively liberal section of an otherwise conservative area. This sounds like a case of terminal stupidity combined with Bush derangement syndrome.
