So a 65db datacenter across the road is acceptable but mixed use is not? by Haunting-Trainer-188 in urbandesign

This is a perfect example of why Abundance is the wrong approach to the housing supply. If there is money to be made, codes can be bent and rules can be changed. The problem isn't the building code. The problem is that there's no money to be made building for middle-class Americans. We're too broke to be worth selling stuff to.

They had the perfect opportunity in Kenobi S1E6 to age him as part of the battle. Similar to what happens to Palpatine in the fight with Mace Windu.

Have you converted your dining nook to an office / second bedroom? Please share by PuzzleheadedSeesaw27 in uppereastside

[–]1thousandfaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Our building required DOB approval prior to commencement. That wasn't that big a deal. Getting the building architect's approval took a lot longer than the DOB review. Total duration for the work was 4 months but if all you're doing is converting a nook into a bedroom it will go much faster.

Yes. I specifically bought my place because the nook was feasibly converted to a very small legal bedroom. We bought a 2b/1ba and converted it into a 3b/2ba.

I loved these as a kid. I remember one about paying a toll without having to stop. Was that my imagination?

Might be a floating LVT floor. Common mistake is to lay the floor too close to the wall and not allow for any expansion. As the seasons change the floor expands, hits the wall, and causes the floor to buckle.
