It depends on the zone. RH-1, which is a bulk of the city west of Divis, is approx 15' (depends on historical building construction) https://sf-planning.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Docum...

You might be too far from a glass plant to make it worthwhile, but there's certainly a market for recycled glass. The O-I glass plant my company buys glass here in Oregon from uses 60% of 'cullet' - recycled glass, in their m

You finally explained a mystery to me why growing up in Oregon, I've never seen a bailbond place with its flashy neon signs and general run-down areas outside of courthouses. Something I became fairly familiar with moving around Califo

It's how a lot of cities were built in the old days of rail. Land grants to build the rail (incentivizing private infrastructure), then the railroads themselves would build towns around stops. It's not always a good thing. See the

I've been wondering why so many of them are popping up in the city core where I am, instead of more far-flung light industrial areas where they typically existed. The construction costs $/sqft must be a fraction of commercial buil

I've definitely had older sales-type people text me using emojis. It's very "hey fellow kids" and I'm 32. The business in discussion are often multi-million contracts. I would never use texts in the first place with

The x-years and y-% could be based on their future earnings. A sort of tiered system with “marginal” rates. I wonder if such a system could exist.

9 months a year of employment, which is a gross oversimplification of how many weeks/yr a teacher is working.

Not really- you have to drive or live along a single train line (with no places with rent significantly lower than SF, really)

Well the diagnoses for your vehicle come from a 200 page Haynes manual, your body doesn't exactly have a Haynes manual for your make/model/year.

Good point. I didn't think about them not being written down in the list in chronological order by start time.

I'm not a programmer but wouldn't if (endtime[1] > starttime[2]){status=conflict} work? Assuming time is encoded in epoch format.
