Zoning ordinances attempt to tackle housing shortages and affordability by allowing designs that increase density, but with new regulations come some challenges.

Love it!
When I was in the computer systems arena, we had to do a flow chart for lots of out projects. And like architectural symbols on drawings, there are specific shapes that are to be used for inputs, outputs, decisions, and etc.
Many clients/customers seemed to want miraculous output, with little input. (And of course, they all wanted it quick and cheap.) In more than one case, we presented such clients with a flow chart of their request.
It had three symbols, one for input, one for output, and a religious symbol between. And we'd explain the process -- "First we take your inputs, then a miracle occurs, and you get the output.
Much like the quick/good/cheap requests in this industry, it sometimes required divine intervention.
Now that could be a great handout....if the client had any sense of humor.
Thanks for the post!
ciao, ted

What's up with the depressed kitty?
that's Jeeter - she loves to stand up and say "huh?". Or, if you get her mad, she'll stand up and "box" the air in your direction. Cute as heck, we found her abandoned in a MickeyD parking lot, flea infested and crying. Here she is locked in mortal combat with our other cat Ginger

She's a looker.
Maybe some Siamese in the mix?
