The Law

Old municipal codes suggest that pacing continuously in a rented room is considered a public nuisance. It was likely passed to prevent noisy guests from disturbing the people sleeping in the room below them in poorly insulated wooden boarding houses. Insomniacs in Sioux Falls are advised to sit still.
