In this context, fecal is funnier. Feral doesn't make much sense

While I think your concern is a bit overblown, this sort of stuff can be dangerous.

Zoning sounds terrible until your next door neighbor starts running an auto repair shop out of his garage.

"Mixed use" is also a thing. I know of plenty of examples here in the US, I have lived in one of them. New construction consisting of living space above retail is actually kinda trendy right now.

Also if you live above a greasy diner expect cockroaches

Apathy is what got us here

Sounds maybe a plumbing problem.

I'd hate to be the guy that has to mop that bathroom

Hi, how are you?

The TV edit of Smokey and the Bandit is notoriously bad. You scum bum! https://youtu.be/ypLsFLB5WhM skip to 7:00 to get to the good stuff

I like to think there was some guy in China working in the Censorship Bureau who was like "damn this is a kick ass movie but I gotta prove to my bosses I'm hard at work" so they chopped out a little inconsequential bit in the beginning and let it ride

IMO the pandemic showed us we need to improve our social safety net (unemployment benefits) and get all workers contributing (taxed wages). We heard all about the "gig economy" and the US government threw money at everyone and everything driving up government defecits and inflation. Caveat: not an economist

If the US didn't support them they would go to someone else and take their intelligence gathering with them.

I can't speak for NY but that is the situation in Cleveland. I have a customer downtown on city steam. I watch hot water discharge to a drain at the rate of about 3 gallons a minute and there's 1440 minutes in a day. When it was built I'm sure they reclaimed most of it (80% return is considered good) but over time the pipe corrodes and you have leaks.

It's terribly inefficient. The efficiency is lost when the steam that condenses back into hot water is lost and none of it is returned to the boiler to be reheated. Rather than reheating this returning water which normally is at 120-160 degrees Fahrenheit, fresh water is used which in the winter here is around 56 degrees. Aside from this the cold water taken in contains impurities such as dissolved gasses which cause corrosion and dissolved minerals which can cause scaling that acts as an insulator raising the amount of energy needed to heat the water.

If it were that simple everyone would have done it by now. This method of heating your building is very expensive. Long story short, I'm in the HVAC business and two of my customers have made themselves independent. One was a private property management company that gutted an empty building and was successful, the other is a federal building that hired a private company to convert over and got screwed.

Some big cities originally heated their buildings by producing steam in one one centralized building and delivering it to large buildings thru pipes underground. The steam you see is from leaking pipes in this antiquated infrastructure. It's a very inefficient method if you ask me. Cities should offer these buildings low interest loans so they can update and be independent but they never take my advice

I was pressed for a response at work to which I replied, "do you want a quick answer or a correct one?"

It's not because they're pro-Republican, the media has made them anti-Democrat
