You're so pie-in-the-sky Steve. Let's look at the hard, cold reality of living in that house. Two words: animal clean-up. Well... one word and two hyphenated words, I should say. There's that bird they use as the can opener, the bird that's used as a phonograph needle... isn't there some poor creature that Wilma uses as a vacuum cleaner? Not only would the care and cleaning be insane, what happens when that can-opener bird goes batshit and pecks out Pebbles' eyes? Plus, Fred's boss was kind of a dick. Not quite a "Mr. Spacely" dick, but a dick all the same.
