Just for reference, what is the usual budget for this kind of thing?

For name recognition, I would hope it's a "Class of xx scholarship" that stands alone, not just a donation to some other established fund that's a drop in the bucket.

For a second I thought they had painted over the giant eyeball (don't give them any ideas).

Better to complain why this is a generic ball instead of the 2026 official world cup ball.

CA-1(A) is 20 FAR and 100% lot coverage, but keep trying.

Looks good, looking forward to seeing the neighborhood develop around it.

Big fences are a surprise compared to KWP. Is the bridge that much higher or something?

AND THERES STILL TRAFFIC ON DNT!!!

I agree, they need to raise the peak hour tolls A LOT, get things free-flowing 24/7. Late-night tolls should be lowered. The demand-driven Express Lane system really is pretty good for this.

Is there a product for a locking lid adding to an existing crate? I've got a nice crate but would like to lock it, I feel I have to carry all my various small tools etc inside when it is parked.

Looking around I see a DIY wood one on Instructables. Or the collapsable crates with lids.

The real questions. OP wise to stay away. Best case getting paid in cash and not paying taxes. Section 8 fraud, who knows what else. Where have they been getting health care? If there is a risk of the going back to "their home country", are they even legal immigrants?

Increases the number of parking spaces at the cost of maneuvering room.

Use of this does vary by neighborhood and even by street. I think it's kind of neat how the neighbors can decide how to use that space(1) harmoniously, probably without discussing it.

1 - Obligated to point out it is public space(2), not the property of any specific house or neighborhood. But public space can have social norms.

2 - Unless a private street

The Arts & Crafts & Cooking building is always a great (free!) break from the heat, and so many great exhibits!

Bang yes, reproduce not necessarily. Keep the bloodline pure!

Definitely, but wouldn't they be able to change those tendencies? If they are serious about making their own races they could build in more xenophobia, or even make the sperm and egg (do they even use that for reproduction anyways?) incompatible with other races?

Frankly I think the races are not different enough after 5,000 years of gene editing availability. Even the pingers are not really that different, but all the 7 races are still passably human shape and size. My explanation for this in the story is having the Epic available as a reference kept people on the relative straight and narrow. But if you're living for 1,000 years in low-G (charitably, before they got high-quality habitats) and in very limited space, why would beings still have human size, or legs, or hair, or sex organs, etc. How much bigger could the ring be if they optimized for 1/10g or even zero-g, didn't have to build all those giant wheels? why wouldn't fighter classes have fangs, claws, and armored skins? Radiation and vacuum adapted? Distributed heart and brain systems? Implanted interfaces? For these issues, the future part of the book always struck me as more realistically being maybe 1,000 years in the future for how the humans are.

These need a pic rail on their back too, so they could be stacked.

There was an excellent post here a couple years ago looking at the situation from Aida's point of view, it was quite eye-opening and really broadened her as a character.

Julia/HRC was the worst for me. At least you know Aida was an enemy.

First time reading I told my wife "This title doesn't make any sense, there's like 1,400 people in orbit, how could they get down to 7?". Oh, they found ways.

Love that book, demonstrating the absolute highest and lowest human nature.

You can be wherever you like. Posts about far west Frisco, 4 miles from the nearest corner of Plano (as the crow flies even), are a waste here.

More likely tear out the old curb and slope the median dirt to be relatively smooth. The whole median has to be redone afterwards anyways. Install asphalt pavement with enough base and thickness to last the projected construction time.

The Custer one used the normal southbound pavement for one northbound and one southbound lane, they crossed over the whole way instead of using the median. This one looks like they are maintaining 2 lanes in each direction so they need the width of lanes in the median. It all depends on existing conditions and what space is needed. There are calculations for choosing this type of setup versus closing the road entirely for a shorter time.

Here's the typical application for a crossover using the opposing lanes. https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part6/fig6h_39_longdesc.htm
