Interesting. from other reviews, it sounds that like diamond desires, Lears is also a spin off of old GC. I wonder if the apartment at Lears is worse than Diamond, which I am familiar with. DD is tight and the building decrepit, but I would not call it dirty. Lears doe not sound appealling at all, especially the part about dirt, animal furs, etc. They should be able to afford the occssional cleaning lady, I suppose.
