And a building nicknamed the Haunted House is slathered in gold leaf, like an early Renaissance panel painting. (“A very cheap cladding material,” Mr. Koolhaas has insisted, “compared to marble or even paint.”)

On the creek side of the street sits a charming two-and-a-half-car garage with a stylish recreation room featuring a kitchenette, a vaulted ceiling and captivating creek-side views. A floating dock, sun deck and garden bed line the Pine Creek waterway.

Lee and a few other tenants have been asked to help keep communication open with Treetop, keeping them aware of residents’ concerns.

“The city is doing their job by following up on tenants’ concerns. I would just expect them to continue that to other properties in the city to improve Fort Myers’ housing 100 percent,” he said.   Senior Treetop management will continue to visit the property every few weeks to make sure it’s being maintained, Reyes said.

Taylor, who was aware of the problem, has a pest control contractor treating each unit, including inside cupboards and drawers. The treatment makes some pest activity inevitable, he said, because it flushes insects out of the woodwork where they’re caught, sprayed and vacuumed.

Jeff Williams, the senior vice-president, recalled an early iMac revision. “We announced it, and it was beautiful,” he said. “But we couldn’t figure out how to produce them.” Ive and Dan Riccio, now Apple’s senior vice-president of hardware engineering, spent eight weeks at LG Electronics, the computer’s South Korean manufacturer. “The folks at LG were doing a lot of the designing for us,” Riccio said. “Today, we do it a hundred per cent in-house.”

Standard on First Edition models and available on select models, Configurable Dynamics allows the driver to tailor vehicle settings to their individual preference using the touchscreen. In Dynamic mode’s default setting, throttle response is increased, gear shifts anticipate a sportier driving style, the suspension stiffens and power-steering assistance is reduced for extra driver feedback. Configurable Dynamics allows each parameter to be individually adjusted, so increased throttle response can be combined with, for example, the default suspension setting2.

Now, for a mid-range smartphone, this hardware should be more than enough, and indeed it is. For the most part, I found overall usage experience with the 8C to be quite good during my review period.
