There seems to be a young man directing and keeping order.
However, this property is scrupulously clean. Residents wash the windows, paint the trim, mow the lawn, etc.
People have a choice to live clean or live very low. Grandmama could assign chores: laundry, K-P; outside, etc. if she had advanced human values.
I think about the children from the child's house appearing in school. Children raised in squalor, filth, noise and chaos can't value or learn in school. WHY are people having children when they can't see the slightest good future for them?
