In some areas where houses were developed around similar times to similar plans this works. But, for example, here in Berkeley the price per square foot can vary wildly based on the condition of the homes. We have 100 year old homes that ar

It's not encoding based - its frame based, basically bitmap data. It has to be to work across the whole video delivery pipeline so it's fairly fuzzy but also accurate. They need a source to compare too so when we worked on it mast

Anyone can organize at any time, and the employer is free to tell you to pound sand and hire someone else This is not correct. Independent Contractors can organize but they have no right's covered by the National Labor Relations Act
