Afraid to "Offend"

Apparently everybody in New York is so deathly afraid of “offending” ANYBODY they have now published a list of 200 WORDS that cannot be used in ads for real estate. Among them are “family friendly,” “exclusive,” “easy walking distance,” “no smoking,” family-sized,” “working,” and “couples.” Has anybody in New York heard of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States? If I were a real estate broker in New York, I’d tell them to “stick their list where the sun doesn’t shine” and DEFY them to do something about it. If that’s “offensive,” tough cookies. (Just common sense)
