  • My understanding (could very well be wrong) is that a plot of land must be zoned at or above the intended use. It’s for the purposes you said (and particularly for maintaining home property values), but there’s a hierarchy. If a place is zoned residential, you can’t open an office building, because offices are a higher zoning class. Above that is industrial. But you can also use it for lower purposes, such as residential.

    As for services, that really is highly dependent on your locality. Downtown living has been a huge trend in my area. High-rise condos (very expensive ones at that) have been built right next to the office sky scrapers for well over a decade. A lot of buildings were designed with the ground floor being retail traffic (restaurants, sometimes offices, etc) with residences above. This all happened before COVID.

    I don’t think they’re a good fit for a family with kids, but clearly they have these things already figured out.


  • Assuming that you’re talking about the US (I won’t speak for anywhere else), there is exactly 1 circuit in my kitchen with 240v/40a- the range. Everything else is 120v/15a. Current code requires a number of dedicated circuits, but they’re all 120v. Most are 15a, with a few 20a. The fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and any countertop appliances are all fine with 15a (1500 Watts continuous).

    Most offices have tons of circuits run to any given area, because (by code) you can only connect so many devices. Googling wasn’t immediately clear how many, but it’s between 8 and 15. That’s only a few cubicles per circuit, so there should be no shortage of wiring.













  • There’s a few logical possibilities here.

    #1 is that whatever stimuli produced it the first time keeps producing it later.

    #2 is that you clearly did remember them enough, possibly when you woke up, to commit it to long term memory. This is a tautology, because you would have to remember it to know that it was in previous dreams.

    #3, as someone mentioned below, is your mind playing tricks on you. Ever had a dream where you knew an object was something important and specific, even though its appearance in the dream was clearly not that? E.g. you know you’re at your (specific) friend’s house, but that’s not at all what their house looks like. Dreams have a lot of weird substitutions like this, including the idea that you’ve been somewhere before


  • Assuming they had a proper criteria/methodology rather than just anecdotes and the like, it’s data. It’s a weird visualization of that data, but it’s still data.

    Phrased another way, using only the data provided by the drawing, you could turn this into more common presentations. This includes a spreadsheet, pie chart, or a bar graph.
