I believe some TIC agreements are structured as HOAs, which is perfectly reasonable
but I'm pretty sure that's not what you're referring to here.
Plenty in the US, too
I'm in San Francisco and there are tons of mixed use buildings, in both "sharp" and well-off neighborhoods alike.
It's not all bad
remote work policy is now a major topic. You'd be laughed out of any number of job interviews for asking about remote work policy, whereas now it's a completely fair question.
Having a CC doesn't mean you have debt...
"Why the HELL should I have to press 2 for English?"
bumper sticker I would see on my bike commute back in the day.
The bank doesn't own the house, they just have a significant lien against it. Maybe a potato potato situation (how are you supposed to spell that phrase 🤔), but it is an important distinction.
Landlords can get pissed if you paint the walls/change appliances/remodel/etc., but so long as the property is properly insured (and you make your loan payments on time) the bank probably isn't going to bother you.
Landlords can
and do
place restrictions on quiet hours, guest policy, who is allowed to live there, etc. Owning is definitely different.
Some cities offer guides or services for native plants! https://sfpublicworks.org/services/plant-lists-and-palettes
It's even divided across the city's different climate zones (San Francisco is small, but can have huge differences in weather from one side to the other).
I recall a SoCal city even offering free consultation for native gardens.
With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.
Except that this problem doesn't specify distance between horseman, so I think it's a bit bogus
no need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they're there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn't resolvable (a person being a "single pixel" would have a different hue depending).
Or, "the problem" is an uneducated electorate: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/government/politics-elections/2024/11/08/men-and-white-people-vote-differently-based-education
Whether this is due to "book smarts" or just a statement that going to college means you meet different people and generally expands your worldview, it seems to make a difference (men still more problematic than women, but less so when educated!).
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
Of course; my point was never that it's a ubiquitous practice in the US, only that it definitely exists in places.
Sure (Seattle is newer, for instance), but that's obviously not what you mean.
I think we're talking about different types of cities
new, rural, small incorporated cities are certainly very different than "capital C" Cities. I'm guessing this is the real distinction that we're talking about..
