Changing Times...

Prometheus Bound, The Greek tragedy is based on the myth Prometheus of who was punished by the god Zesu for giving fire to mankind . Well today in modern times, Prometheus Real Estate Group is leading the way towards non-smoking apartments by taking a stand to eliminate fire and health dangers caused by smoking.“Opening smoke-free in late December is the new Portland, Oregon luxury apartment community, The Wyatt, owned by Sobrato Development Co. and managed by Prometheus Real Estate Group. The Wyatt is a 245-unit building located in Portland's Pearl District.
The policy bans smoking inside apartment units and common areas, including balconies and patios, and within 25 feet of the building. Prospective residents must sign a no-smoking agreement upon leasing a unit and will be responsible for enforcing the policy within their apartments.”

Have we all gone nuts? Are we seriously supporting control of lifestyle with one's own home?

Very nice. Prometheus also manages 10th & Hoyt. F.Y.I. I think the Wyatt is in good hands.
Thanks for the tip! People have been wondering who bought the building....

It decreases the value of a house, a car, practically anything. Promised.
Besides that, who's to say they can't do that, it is THEIR property not the rentors. If they don't want to rent, don't rent.
It isn't like the public smoking ban put in place by states, which is a non-choice, anti-freedom, anti-property rights legislative move.
A property owner (the owner of the building this case) should totally be allowed to set policy such as that.
