so i really love whenever you call mulder & scully best friends. wanna talk about your top 5 favorite moments of their friendship?

DO I EVER

1/ little green men

they have a secret code. they have their own language.

when mulder gets to his desk that morning, the photo of samantha is tipped over, and he knows that this means to meet scully at the watergate. which, first of all, is unbelievably dorky. these two work in the same building. these two have cell phones.

but they have been split up and reassigned and it is not a phase you guys it is the end of the world!!!!

when he arrives in the parking garage, he asks what she wants, and she responds, "to know that you're alright."

they have a secret code and their own language and for nothing more than to check in.

(shoutout to the depression hair era, they are so funny for both getting bangs the moment they were separated. that's how you know things are really bad for the girlies.)

when he sinks down to the floor and tells her the george hale story, she crouches down next to him, listens, tells him not to give up.

you can tell that it makes her uneasy to see him defeated, to see him doubting himself and what he believes in. she's almost trying to convince him of aliens in that moment, telling him that he's seen so much and reminding him of samantha. trying to spark something in him.

they have a secret code, they have their own language, and when he leaves town, he buys the plane ticket under a name that only she will recognize. she cracks his computer password in three tries.

earlier, after skinner questions scully, he tells CSM that she's telling the truth, she really doesn't know where mulder is. "because if she knew, she wouldn't be so worried about him."

they aren't as hard to decipher as they want to believe.

PAUSE!!!!! this is the cuntiest thing he's ever done. the sunglasses, the denim, the boots, the dangerous lack of exit strategy...anyway

she interprets his clues, she follows without obligation, they go back together. hand in his hair, not giving up, just like she started the episode.

in the end, they have nothing. the hail mary trip resulted in empty tables and silent tape recordings.

one thing i didn't notice until i rewatched this one the other day is that it's not when he says "i still have you" that she takes his hand.

it's when he switches the tape from the record of his failed excursion to his actual assignment, hours of listening to slimy men talk about strippers.

she listens with him for a moment before shaking her head, and squeezing his hand. she does understand that this isn't what he wants to be doing, and that it's disheartening.

2/ tooms

i could list every season one episode here. i could do a whole other post just about season one. i could do a whole other post just about season one, and include every episode. but i guess i will settle for this one.

this is my favorite season, and this is my favorite MSR.

him waving the pine tree air freshener in her face when she said he smells 😭😭😭

squeeze was all about the choice between climbing the ladder and the "out there" but "good" work of the basement, with all of the ridicule and consequence that come with it.

its sequel episode is about the aftermath of that decision, what it means to choose the side of the victim, to stop reaching for personal success.

(this shot is so beautiful, her face through CSM's smoke)

tooms opens with scully in a negative performance review, skinner (in his very first scene!! we love you skinman) going over her reports, CSM lurking in the corner.

the two share a look, then warn scully against having too much of an open mind, telling her that it is her "responsibility to see that these cases are by the book"

"by the book" becomes the theme of the episode, with the phrase repeating multiple times throughout.

this isn't the first time that the show has explored this topic, with young at heart also centering a debate of “by the book” protocol, what it really means, and who it really serves. ending with this final dialogue:

SCULLY: Mulder, I know what you did wasn't by the book.

MULDER: Tells you a lot about the book, doesn't it?

“by the book” isn’t an easy order to follow when you have a partner who doesn’t believe in it, and you aren’t sure you do either.

it’s not an easy order to follow, for the navy captain’s daughter who worships authority.

she does try though, and she's initially frustrated with mulder's behavior in the case. she tells him that he "sounded so....." at the trial, and she's reluctant to pursue his methods without approval from the bureau.

ultimately, when she comes to bring mulder something to eat on his unauthorized stakeout, she tells him that what he's doing is not proper surveillance protocol, and he good-naturedly accuses her of peddling "the book."

she responds, "this is not about doing it by the book, this is about you not having slept for three days." and tells him that he is inevitably going to get hurt.

to her, it's not about following the rules or pressure from the bureau or respecting authority, it's about making sure he's okay.

when she tells him to go home, that she'll take over the stakeout, he smiles and shakes his head (it's almost the same look that he gives her years later in redux ii, when she tells him to lay it all on her. just less tears.)

and i know that we tend to focus on the next part of this scene, but this line stands out to me too, as he declines because he doesn't want her to get "in trouble."

he doesn't want her to break the rules or disobey authority, and he still believes she'll be head of the bureau someday.

it kinda makes me teary, this stupefied look on his face at her response. when she looks at him unflinching and says, "mulder, i wouldn't put myself on the line for anybody but you."

they are so kind to each other. they really don't care about official reprimands in files or welfare protocols; they each just want the other to get some rest, to have a bright future.

he relents, allows her to take over, on the condition that she calls "if anything happens. immediately. i'll be here." and suggests she catch the sports talk radio show

she bends down to give him one last smile and eye roll as she exits the car

and makes a joke to herself while walking back to her own. best best best friends.

3/ tempus fugit

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SPECIALAGENTDANAKATHERINESCULLYYYYY

what better way to celebrate life than annoying the hell out of your best friend on her birthday?

the way he clearly gave the waiters her name and this snowball and sparkler and sang "special agent dana katherine scully" while they all sang "happy birthday dana" is one of his most embarrassingly extra moments and it never fails to make me laugh

she rolls her eyes at him, but the way she stares when he's not looking says so much. they both know why this year gets sparklers and song when last year didn't. they both know there might not be a next year.

he's literally never been more irritatingly overjoyed lmao. and he brought presents! ("oh, you've got to be kidding me" "just something that reminded me of you")

he said "i didn't know it was your birthday, scully!" with a wrapped gift in his pocket, always prepared with a smile and a cover story

he does this same thing in memento mori, after getting the call to come to the hospital, when his first words of the episode are "i stole these from some guy with a broken leg down the hall. he won't be able to catch me." about the flowers we watched him come through the front doors holding

he clearly puts thought into these gestures, but everything is so fragile. neither of them are comfortable with what too much sincerity would mean, how limited it all is.

but they find little ways to give to each other anyway, they hang out in bars and roll their eyes and discuss the meaning behind a keychain.

if this is the last birthday, maybe it's worth a little vulnerability (and annoying song and dance), that he did it up right.

4/ one breath

another Mulder Gift™️ entry. god, the sweetness here is just overwhelming. he is so strange and tries so hard.

this whole scene is one of my favorites of the series, but i love this little moment so much.

it's so inadequate, in the end. to see someone that you thought you'd lost, your most important person, who was gone for so long, and have nothing more to give them than a shitty VHS sports tape.

but what else can you do? he's so quiet and self-conscious in this moment. he raced to the top of mountains and stood on broken cable cars and choked a man and wore her necklace around his neck for months and wept on the floor. he had the strength of her beliefs, and he prayed. he held her hand by her bedside after they pulled the plug.

so much goes unsaid between them, because how can you say it in words? how can you do anything but smile and buy something stupid at the gift shop?

she makes a joke while he smiles at the floor, but it's not a joke, not really. he's there and he's giving her whatever he can and he's cracking jokes, and she knew there was a reason to live. that's it right there.

5/ detour

GO, GIRL!

this is a best friends episode. this is a "we survived that hospital and we refuse to spend our one wild and precious life at the annual FBI teamwork seminar, if you need us, we'll be lost in the forest" episode.

look at her trying not to laugh while he's making sarcastic comments at her in the backseat. can you imagine carpooling with these two? they are forever passing notes and whispering behind backs.

she is not making it to the teamwork seminar. she is not getting her wine and cheese, either. she is looking for mothmen in western florida.

they think they're so much better than that communication exercise, just to make vague innuendo in a motel room.

they tell each other all about native species and how ticks can halt their metabolism and the livestock that was killed in a town 30 years ago. she teases him about his filing system.

neither of them tire of bashing the hell out of that teamwork seminar.

they talk about death. about searching for meaning in life. about which flintstones character they relate to the most. they swap dirty jokes.

she fusses over his grave injury (a dislocated shoulder) and holds him. sings to him so that he'll know she's still there.

a few years down the road, she'll sing that same song to their baby, on one of her last days with him. she'll sing to him about this night, about his dad, about her favorite memories.

sitting there together in that forest in florida, they have already started to carry the weight of near-misses. of lost time, of almosts, of purposeful disease.

they have come a long way and taken on a lot, in the years since the parked car outside tooms' house and the garage at the watergate.

but they have yet to be separated longer than 90 days. they have yet to lose a child. they have yet to plan funerals and prison breaks.

there's something about that time, that ability to just sit in the woods and talk about everything, looking for mothmen, that is so precious and so special.

and when she tells him that night that she had struggled to find meaning, that's where it is.

#thank you for this #dream assignment #they ARE best friends #and it's my favorite #msr #asks #little green men #tooms #tempus fugit #one breath #detour #kae meta

Random things I noticed while playing What Remains Of Edith Finch

There was a poster of the cannery that Lewis worked at on the boat.

2. Edith Jr wears what appears to be an engagement on a necklace. Whether this is her ring or her mothers is not mentioned.

10. One of the books the Finches possessed was 'King in Yellow', a book known for making anyone who read it insane.

11. The house sounds alive, or like there are people constantly moving around it.

12. Walters bedroom is painted with both ocean and train designs. One of the paintings is the old house that Odin tried to bring to America.

13. There are drag marks on the ground of Walters bedroom (most likely made when his drawers were taken out of his room.)

17. Molly has a chalkboard in her bedroom where she is a princess in an underwater castle and Sven is about to get attacked by a sea monster (slightly resembling the dragon slide).

18. As shark!Molly starts falling down the cliff, she passes a road where headlights are briefly scene.

19. When the monster gets back to Molly's room, the window that cat!Molly jumped through is still open.

23. The house is filled head to toe with books about death, including two that Odin wrote.

24. Sven's shrine does not have a log painting like the rest of the family. His portrait is painted on a simple canvas.

25. Edie has a number of strange tapes in her room including one titled "conspiracy now".

26. The toys from Gregory's final bath are still in the bathroom.

27. There is an old bottle of alcohol in the bathroom bin.

49. Gus has a skateboard over his name.

50. Gregory has the soap bottle from his final bath in his shrine.

51. The music cuts out when Gregory isn't moving.

52. Same also blames himself for Gregory.

53. Gus never met his step mother.

54. Gus was crushed by the (totem) statues of his deceased relatives.

My Luxury Apartment- General Script

I script this apartment complex in most of my DRs and my Waiting Room. Features like the room style change based on what reality the script is for, but the rest generally stays the same. This is the complex I shifted to the first time, all the things I would’ve enjoyed if I stayed longer.

Exterior: At the back of the complex, there’s a playground with equipment for adults too. The playground equipment can handle adult bodies using it.

Basement level: At the basement level, there are storage lockers for the tenants of the apartment, a parking garage, a shop, and a convenience store. The convenience store carries a brand of microwave dinners that has a wide variety of options, and it includes many cultural dishes from various cultures. For example, one of the frozen dinner sets includes collard greens cooked with smoked ham hocks and black eyes peas, fried catfish, baked mac and cheese, and a little cup of banana pudding or candied yams. The store sells other easy to make food items, such as roux cubes for curry and egusi stew. There is also a laundromat down there, for residents that don’t have personal machines.

First floor: The first floor has the lobby of the apartment building, an indoor pool and hot tub for the residents and their guests, and a hot pot restaurant. Residents get a discount at the restaurant, but it’s open to the public. It also has a gym that holds exercise, dance, and yoga classes.

Second floor: There’s a small doctor’s clinic on this floor, staffed by several nurses, two pediatricians, a mental health counselor, and a few physicians. Here, residents (and our guests) can receive regular checkups, emergency aid, help with medical treatments such as dialysis, etc. Attached to the clinic is a small pharmacy where you can get cold medicines, common emergency medicines like epipens and inhalers, etc. There’s also a daycare on the other side of the building, and between them is the complex spa. The spa has masseurs trained in neuromuscular massage therapy.

Third floor: A work space with computers for public use, recreational room that doubles as a movie theater with a larger screen, and an additional rec room with video game consoles, VR gaming space, and a small cafe. The first rec room is popular with older residents, while the second is more popular with the teenage residents.

Penthouse: My penthouse apartment also has a balcony with seating, two guest bedrooms each with its own 3/4 bathroom, and a walk-in storage closet.

Rooftop: On top of the apartment complex is a community garden and an observatory. There are gardeners that maintain most of the plots, but private plots must be privately managed.

Safety features: Along with normal safety features, all the windows and doors on the first and second floor, plus parking garage, have metal shutters that can be lowered during emergencies. The entire building also has an advanced fire suppression system, air purifiers, and an extensive bunker below the parking garage. Each apartment, or at least the penthouses, have security doors (thick wooden doors with metal plates in the middle and higher quality locks). All the safety features have their own failsafes.

Alright we've finally reached the basement and backyard! This one might be extra long because there's a lot to cover

(image credits to/designs made using the app HomeByMe from Dassault Systèmes SE)

I don't think you can tell from the picture but there's a retaining wall across the front due to the hill that butts up against the front of the house, as mentioned in the last installment. There wasn't a front yard in the last part bc I imagine they're kind of right on the road (sort of like the og full house) and the driveway wraps around one side and down from the road in front to the garage in the back (I had already added a lot of extra space and stuff to this level and the app was starting to get a little glitchy so I decided against expanding the area further lol)

So anyway, the basement is where a lot of the various practical function type rooms are; we've got the laundry room in the front, the kitchen and the dining room on the right, etc.

There's the garage, please ignore the car that's in there as there weren't a lot of options and I know that one little minivan (I think it was a minivan?) is definitely not going to cut it for a household of this size but they didn't have any actual vans and I didn't have space to include multiple cars, so just use your imagination and picture that there are two more cars parked outside along the driveway or smthn (I'm thinking Steve has his car but he mostly lets Nancy or Jonathan drive it since his vision is starting to get worse, Eddie has his van, and Argyle still has the surfer boy pizza van bc he got to keep his old job but got transferred to a new location. Don't question the logistics of that it's not important)

You're probably wondering what the hell a "dog room?" is. I couldn't think of a better name for it, but basically I decided they should have a dog and that they adopt a stray they find, and this is the room where they keep the dog stuff. He's got a bed and a crate and his bowls in there, and it's also where they keep his food and all the other dog-related supplies. There's a door giving direct access to the yard from this room, and a hook by the door to hold a leash. All that said, the dog doesn't end up actually being in this room all that much besides when he eats, since everyone takes turns letting him sleep in their rooms and he's pretty much glued to his humans' sides when they're home

Beside the dog room is the aforementioned laundry room. I haven't decided for sure yet whether each person is responsible for their own laundry or if there's a designated laundry-doer (as well as other assigned chore roles) so we'll have to come back to that later

Next is the kitchen, and I'm following the lead of what seems to be majority consensus in fandom that Steve is a good cook, so he's usually the one making family meals in here. Also, El frequently sneaks down into the basement for late night eggos, and Will- who had become familiar with this habit of hers during their time in Lenora- sometimes accompanies her (trust that this au will have some strong willel sibling vibes bc its one of my favorite underexplored tropes in canon)

The kitchen is connected to the dining room; they're not actually separate rooms there's just a sort of mostly-for-aesthetic-purposes divider between them. The dining room is where they sit when everyone shares a meal or when they have company over for dinner, otherwise people just sort of take their food wherever they want if they're eating alone. They eat dinner together most nights

There's a door from the dining room out onto a patio, which is fitting since the patio is pretty much just a smaller, outdoor dining room (that's a picnic table in the middle). They grill sometimes but also just go out there to eat like, pb&js and chips in the warm sunlight and fresh air. It's also a place to sit and dry off or hang out after a swim, and the lower end has a pool shed where they store stuff like floats and nets and salt bags

Past the pool shed is the actual pool, which is an emotionally weighted part of the setting for several characters. El doesn't like the pool very much and mostly avoids it at first, but eventually she grows to love swimming (this au is also going to involve a lot of reclamation of things formerly tied to trauma). Steve on the other hand has very mixed feelings about the pool which he mostly tries to ignore. Mike tends to get weirdly clingy when Will wants to swim and always insists on going with him

Next to the back door is the external stairs to the deck on the first floor, and right inside the door is another mud room (don't ask me why they need two I didn't know what else to put in the space ok? Besides maybe it's just a matter of preference, some people prefer coming in through the basement and some prefer coming in through the first floor). Further in is the living room, which is sort of a more formal/intimate gathering space in some ways compared to the den upstairs; the den is for friends and neighbors, the living room is for family, if that makes sense? Or just for more "serious" company or family meetings

Back out into the yard, there's the gardening/tool shed, where Argyle likes to build birdhouses and the original party likes to tinker with old electronics, and where they keep the supplies for the greenhouse right next to it. They started growing their own fruits and vegetables out of necessity at first, back when everyone was nervous to leave the house, but now its use is mostly split between what Steve grows for use in the kitchen and Eddie & Argyle's home-grown weed

I think that's just about everything. The next installments will most likely be about roommate pairings and more in-depth bedroom designs

Photo

The famous Painted Lady of San Francisco, California is back on the market. Leah Culver, a senior engineer at Twitter, purchased the historic house in January 2020 with hopes of returning the grande dame to her former glory. But now, she’s decided to sell rather than go forward with a multiyear, multimillion-dollar construction project.

It’s one of the Seven Sisters, the most photographed homes, they were also in the opening of the show “Full House.” Why she calls it “The Pink Painted Lady,” I don’t know, b/c it’s beige. Maybe she was going to paint it pink.

She’s listing it for the same price she paid for it - $3.55m. It has an Instagram page and everything, but she hasn’t done too much. She paid $3.55m three weeks after the home came on the market for $2.75m.

Then reality set in. Built in the 1890s, the three-floor residence had been owned by the same family for decades. Rot and neglect had taken root.

Culver shared part of the massive project on social media.

Over the months, incredible details of the home were highlighted, including a stained-glass window, decorative ceiling plaster, cornices, as well as ornate hinges and doorknobs.

But the next owner will have an advantage. The sale includes plans and approved permits to restore the building. The planned offering features two units.

She also showed the challenge of peeling paint, ancient fixtures, and cracks in the ceiling.

Recently, a running faucet leaked into a downstairs bathroom and caused the ceiling to cave.

The basement and garage, which will become an apt.

There are beautiful views of San Francisco from all the windows.

The yard is overgrown with weeds.

This is the current floor plan.

And, this is the new one. But, what about off-street parking?

Sims 4 Barbie Dream House

PeaA

1 Bedroom // 3 Bathroom Barbie Dream House!

Lot Size: 50 x 40

World Lot: Twin Orcale Point - Newcrest

Link

ID Name: Sarahtonen24

About the lot:

This lot is created for the r/thesims bi-weekly challenge and this week’s theme is Barbie Inspired. Since Barbie and The Sims are both part of my childhood I thought I would give it a shot.

The house is pretty much inspired by Barbie: Life in the Dream House and Margot Robbie Takes You Inside The Barbie Dreamhouse along with the revamped Barbie Airbnb. I really wanted to incorporate a bunch of things that were included in barbie houses/sets such as slides, pet stuff, clothes, etc. I spent a good two days on it after researching and looking at a ton of pics on Pinterest (Here’s my board for the inspo). I know its not aesthetic ~ but I really did have a fun time building this.

FIRST FLOOR:

The first floor is just the basics - living room, bathroom, kitchen, etc. I mostly went with the pink and purples since pink is Barbies signature color. You may notice some cat and dogs decal in the kitchen and that’s because I remember in my Barbie houses and in the Margot Robbie Video she mentions the 2D art within the set design so I thought incorporating that would be perfect and add some magic touch to the house lol.

The backyard consists of a pool, outdoor kitchen, dance floor, and dog park (you may change this for horses when the pack is released). The slide is fake and cannot be used. I saw a video of the Barbie Airbnb and in the Barbie movie where there is a fake pool so I thought it would be cool to add that by the real pool. The garage has a karaoke area so your barbies can sing and dance!

SECOND FLOOR:

The second floor is the patio and Barbies room. For some reason, I can’t find the rest of the photos so I’m sorry about that. Basically, Barbie’s room is split in half. One side with her bed and the other is a bathroom. In the set design video, I saw the fake shower and I thought it would be cool to add to her room. I know I added a real shower but I couldn’t figure out a way to make a “fake shower” without people being confused if they download it so I added a real shower. barbie does have a private balcony with couches and a TV. Finally, she has a patio with tables, a fridge, and stove so barbie and her friends can make food and then “slide” down to the pool. It’s my favorite part of the build :)

THIRD FLOOR:

Barbies Closet! This was my favorite to build :) I tried to incorporate so much from the movie, sets, and TV shows! There is also a vanity that isn’t shown in the pictures.

BASEMENT:

Here is the basement! The basement consists of a dance club, a movie theater, bathroom number 3 (not shown), gym (not shown) and a ballet studio (not shown). I did not add any barre to the ballet studio. There is a Sims 4 barre mod you may add to your sims 4 game. If not, you may change that to another room if you wish.

There’s my Sims 4 Barbie Inspired house! PLEASE DO NOT STEAL. Thank you and I hope you enjoy :)

Parking Matters

As urban and suburban areas across the country struggle to add more density to their city centers, the issue of parking is going to become a weightier topic and one that you as a real estate professional need to be aware of.

Some cities have done a great job of developing with walkability in mind. Cities like New York and San Francisco have robust transit systems that get people moving around the city. So, what if your city doesn't have that system in place? What if they have only recently had that system in place and people haven't yet adopted the mindset that a car really isn't required to get around? What if the transit system isn't as robust as it needs to be yet to give people that security?

There are a number of areas that are facing growing pains which may get worse instead of better in the coming years, where density will increase before the number of cars decrease.

Washington State: An Evolving Example of Density

For example, Washington State has a lofty goal of adding 1.1 million homes over the next 20 years. Very important House Bills were passed this year (1110 and 1337) to help spur on construction by way of multi-family housing and ADUs (accessory dwelling units). Both of these bills include some version of minimizing or eliminating on-site parking requirements for properties that are close in proximity to transit.

Bill 1337, for example, generally says that two accessory dwelling units will be permitted on single family residential lots in addition to the primary residence. If that lot is within half a mile of a rapid-transit line, including bus lines, then there are no additional on-site parking requirements. The logic here is that if there is easy proximity to a bus, then someone would be more-comfortable either getting rid of their vehicle or not buying one in the first place.

The challenge is that anyone who has been driving their own vehicles for a while, has the habit of jumping into their car and to go wherever they want. It will be tough to convince these folks to get rid of their cars unless they have a dramatic lifestyle shift – like moving from the suburbs to downtown Seattle. However, as transit improves, it will be easier for people to opt into a system of transportation by transit only. Eventually, cars in denser areas will become less necessary and there will be fewer of them.

This is not going to happen overnight. Neighborhoods will have more cars to park as their density increases. However, this may also be a necessary evil to get people to rethink their dependence on cars.

Multi-Family Developments

Let's talk about another aspect of parking – new multi-family developments. Did you know that, according to Statista, an asphalt-on-ground parking spot costs approximately $122.50 per square foot in Seattle? Although there are no hard-and-fast dimension rules, according to AsphaltIndustrial.com a very standard parking spot size is 18 feet long by 8.5 feet in width. Here is the math on that – a standard parking spot takes up 153 square feet and costs $18,742.50 on average to build in Seattle. If a developer is building a 50 unit building and requires one parking spot per unit, that parking is going to cost a builder almost a million dollars just in parking, and that is 7,650 square feet that is going to house cars, not people.

I know what you are thinking – a parking garage is a more-efficient use of space, so why not just build up? Great point, but the cost of a “basement” garage spot in Seattle is $205 a square foot – almost double. In fact, some put the cost to build a spot in an underground structure closer to $80,000 per space. I would highly recommend you read this white paper on parking produced by the Whatcom Housing Alliance that dives in deeper on these numbers.

Home Builder Impact

At a time when our builders need to be focused on the best and most-efficient way to add housing that is affordable, the requirement to include parking creates an undue burden on our builders and developers. Not every development is the same, and builders and developers should be able to assess the market need for parking and build accordingly also taking into account off-site parking opportunities.

For example, let's say a developer was building a new residential building in a busy downtown area with a limited footprint. The developer is planning on putting 36 units in the building. And let's say the current requirement is 70 parking spots (1 spot per bedroom with a mix of 1-3 bedroom units being built). However, in this example case, the development is within a mile of the local college, on a rapid-transit bus line, and most of the target demographic doesn't own a vehicle. Should the builder be required to devote 10,710 square feet of building space (the equivalent of 10 additional units on average in the building) for parking? Remember, that would also add approximately $2 million to the project (using the Statista Seattle dollars) – a cost that would then be passed down to the consumer and drive housing prices up.

What if instead, the developer could determine that only 20% of those spots were really needed which could be reserved for a monthly fee so the costs only pass to the people who need the spots, not everyone? Further, let's imagine there is a parking garage nearby that can take the overflow or people can choose to not have a vehicle readily-accessible. Further, what if this developer invests in a rentable bike or scooter solution as an alternative to the bus? There are plenty of solutions that can help mobilize residents without the cost and space requirements of parking.

Home Buyer Impact and You

As real estate professionals, if you have a buyer with one of more cars and they are considering buying in an urban or suburban area, this is an important conversation to have. How essential is on-site parking to them? How close to transit do they want to be? What kind of transit do they need to be close to? Do they need a secure place to park a bike or a scooter?

Parking and transit are just two of the aspects of what is needed to create more walkable neighborhoods. Easy-access rentable bikes and scooters, bike lanes, small grocery stores, and restaurants are also important. Parks and trails are also components of walkable cities as are other pedestrian-centric improvements such as crosswalks, wide sidewalks, traffic quieting mechanisms, and trees.

The conversation around parking and transit will continues to evolve. As you discuss these issues with your clients you may also want to brush up on what a dedicated parking spot may cost or the value this adds to a property that includes it. Value depends on a number of factors:

Are the parking facilities covered or uncovered?

If covered, is it a garage or a carport?

Is the spot in a shared garage (such as a space in a condo building's garage)?

Does the property simply have a parking strip or driveway along the side of the house?

Is an EV charger included?

The values of these facilities and amenities vary widely from area to area with the value beginning at around $10,000 for an established urban neighborhood. According to the New York Times, a single parking spot in that city can be valued at over $250,000! In fact, some property owners without cars who own a parking spot in New York City can realize rent of $500 per month or more when they rent their spaces out to car-burdened residents.

Change is Here to Stay

If you are selling real estate in the middle of Nebraska or the wilds of Alaska, this article probably isn't doing anything for you. However, much of the United States is entering or already deep into a period of shifting urban and suburban design. For those of us practicing in an area that is making a concerted effort to provide more housing for its population, parking is going to be a part of that conversation.

This means you need to be part of that conversation in terms of understanding what your city and county is discussing for parking requirements for new construction, how that impacts surrounding neighborhoods, what additional density is planned for different neighborhoods and how parking plays into that, and finally having discussions with your clients about their parking needs and the value of their on-site parking assets.

I encourage you to do your reading and understand the relationship between parking and housing costs in new developments. Learn what your local building association is saying about parking requirements and help them get their voices heard by your city and county councils.

my house is currently 4 rooms (kitchen, studio, bedroom, bathroom) and was converted from a large garage. the largest house ive lived in is my parent's, which is ~2350 sq ft. decently sized, but not huge by any stretch of the imagination.

so it's kind of hard to wrap my head about the scale of Really Fucking Big houses, such as, for a random example, witch's, which was a moderately sized house that they have stuck new rooms to ("yeah sure ill break into the most secured government library in the world so you can get the research materials you need for your life's work, and in exchange i will be taking your dining room.") on a fairly consistent basis. for like 1100 years and counting. and like on one hand, the general advice of "dont provide exact numbers unless you are 100% sure you can defend it" holds true, but on the other hand im having a rough time visualizing it.

so the game plan is like, supernaturally large. the total space they have to play with is 10 square miles/6400 acres, divided roughly like this:

done in paint while i try and coax csp into updating. not really to scale. don't worry about like, geological accuracy, it's a manufactured space sustained largely by magic. also it loops at the edges- like, if you walk from the house thru the marsh and keep going you'll wind up in the grasslands.

so the whole space around the house before it starts being trees is a bit under 2 square miles/1280 acres; for the sake of rough numbers, im gonna round it down to 900ish acres; this a bit larger than central park in nyc. the gardens around the house (including the greenhouses) take up about the same space as the house itself, and while some parts of the house get very close to the woods, the structure itself doesn't cover the entire area

the largest palace in the world defined by area within the walls is the forbidden city (beijing) @ 7.8m sq ft/180 acres. if i boost that to 200 acres it would bc about the size of the national mall between the washington monument and the actual capitol grounds, which feels like. a good ballpark for a Supernaturally Big Fucking House.

don't worry, witch's house isn't a rectangle

the guiness world record holder for largest residential palace by floorspace is istana nurul iman (brunei), @ 2.1m sq ft floorspace, split across 17 floors including basements, and has 1788 rooms. if witch's house takes up 200 acres on one level, that would put one floor as being roughly 8.7m sq ft., which im going to round down to being about 4 times as many as the INI. the palace includes stuff like a 5000 person banquet hall and multiple bigass garages, neither of which would be present in witch's, but these are all approximates so im gonna just say that any one floor has about 7152 rooms. the full number of floors they have varies from "9 layers of basement, 4 rooms each" to "single level sunroom" to "15 story tower w/ observatory", so im gonna average it to 3, for a total of roughly 21000 rooms.

this averages on about 19 rooms added per year. keeping in mind that these are frequently "ok im stealing your 200 room palace now" acquisitions, and a bunch of "tacking on a boring square because i needed another storeroom" that feels............................... uhh ......................... okay reasonable is not the word i would use here, but in the vague ballpark of plausible???? maybe?????????????

yknow, im not sure this actually helped me visualize it much at all ._.

5 Ways a Handyman Can Help You with Spring Cleaning

It is finally this time of the year when we are all busy with spring cleaning. But are you loaded with work and finding it challenging to keep up with the cleaning tasks?

Every year, many of us participate in some form of spring cleaning. Most of us work in our bedrooms. Many others take out clothes and donate or sell those which are no longer needed.

Spring cleaning has its roots in Iranian, Jewish, and Chinese spring-cleaning traditions, but it also helps us with our peace of mind and sense of fulfillment. When someone says, "hire a handyman, you're probably thinking of small jobs around the house that don't require a qualified professional.

These tasks range from painting a room to assembling furniture. Handyman services are versatile and can even be hired for your annual spring-cleaning project. If the professional cleaners in your area are busy or already booked for the season, you can hire a local handyman to do this popular spring-cleaning job.

1. Annual Yard Clean Up:

Spring is the gardening season! To get out of a snowy winter, you need to tidy up your garden in preparation for every garden project you have in mind. A handyman will help you with your spring-cleaning checklist in no time.

This includes removing your yard's animal droppings, dry grass, debris, pine cones, and leaves. Prepare and fertilize the beds. Pest and weed control; size shrubs and remove mulch last. Instead of hiring a professional landscaper, you can hire a handyman to do the weekend work.

2. Garage Cleaning:

A garage is a special place to park your car and store tools, sports equipment, and other seasonal items. However, over time, the garage becomes a dumping ground for various things in the home that cannot find a suitable place.

Cleaning a garage can be daunting, and you need help lifting heavy loads, tidying up, washing garage floors, and fixing storage shelves. If you're not a professional, it's a time-consuming cleaning project that can take forever.

A handyman is your best bet for cleaning your garage in no time. A handyman can help remove the trash, clean motor oil from the garage floor, install or repair storage racks for better organization, and paint walls when needed. I will give it to you.

3. Gutters and Eavestroughs:

As the snow melts, gutters and eavestroughs can get clogged with debris, dead leaves, pet droppings, and nests. It is also a favorite residence for various rodents. In early spring, if the damage is found, it should be cleaned and repaired. Handymen help clean gutters to prevent roof damage, weakened foundations, landscaping damage, and basement flooding. Spring can bring rain, so gutters must be cleared to allow water to drain without damage.

4. Tile & Grout Cleaning:

Tile and grout cleaning is always necessary, especially if you live with young children or animals. Much debris, dirt, and dust accumulate between the two tiles. Mold grows on bathroom tiles. Tile and grout cleaners can be hired but do-it-yourselfers can also help with this thorough cleaning project.

5. Junk Removal:

Any house cleaning ends up generating a lot of waste. Handymen can help you remove large pieces of furniture, clean up after construction, or clear debris from a recent renovation project. Handymen can also help you dispose of appliances and rent trash cans. Be sure to discuss your specific needs with the handyman before hiring them.

Cleaning tips for your home in Spring:

1. Increase shelving space for an organization:

Decluttering is one of the most acceptable methods to begin spring cleaning. By being organized, you can increase the space in your home. If you're running out of storage space, consider adding shelves in your garage, basement, closet, laundry room, or elsewhere.

2. Clean and repair windows and screens:

With spring coming, cleaning and repairing windows and screens makes sense. Most places warmed up on a nice day enough to let in some cool air. Before opening windows for the season, ensure all windows are clean and the screens are intact.

3. Cleaning and inspection of decks, patios, and driveways:

When doing spring cleaning, don't forget to consider your home's exterior. It's finally time to get outside and enjoy the decks, patios, and walkways with your family. Before using it, kindly make sure it is in good shape. It would help if you made sure there were no loose nails or boards on your deck or loose rocks or uneven ground on your patio or driveway. After inspection, clean up and remove debris.

4. Clean and inspect fences:

When cleaning the exterior walls of your home, don't forget the fence. Your dog is probably ready to spend hours in your garden. Give your bar a spring cleaning by pressure washing or re-staining it or ensuring all gates and transoms are in good condition.

How to refresh your home for spring:

Spring is a favorite season for many who suffer from the melancholy of winter.

Celebrate the new season and welcome spring into your home with these easy ways.

1. Let things go - We all tend to accumulate "stuff". No matter how you get there, excessive possessions can hurt the cleanliness and health of your home. Let's face it: clutter is stressful and unnecessary in your life. No one needs stress. Simplify your life by recycling old newspapers and magazines, removing clothes that don't fit or are no longer worn, and extracting broken, worn-out, or useless things. You will lose a lot of weight by doing this!

2. Dive into spring cleaning -Thoroughly cleaning your home isn't glamorous, but removing the dirt and grime accumulated over the winter is necessary. Spring cleaning involves a variety of tasks. It's a matter of personal preference. No matter your favorite cleaning checklist, your home will smell fresh and clean, and you'll feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment when you're done.

3. Ventilate the house - Homes closed for the winter often remain stuffy and have unpleasant odors without the wind blowing them away. You can also make natural air fresheners and deodorants by boiling orange peels or lemon slices with spices on the stovetop.

Conclusion

It might be a little overwhelming to figure out the entire spring-cleaning process by yourself. So, what is advisable is that you get a handyman who can help you with the entire cleaning process. As we have discussed above, you already know in what ways a handyman can help you.

The Mechanic Series #1 : The Red Queen - Sano Manjiro

Chapter 6

"This way!" Yelled Rio, as they zoomed passed the busy street of the horrendous rush hour in the main road.

She turned to a corner, "Aren't we supposed to get them to the hospital?" Mitsuya questioned, throwing Akira's body a glance before returning his gaze to the road.

"We can't! We're taking them to our pad!" Rio responded, increasing her speed in the process as Iseul tailed closely behind her.

[Those guys are hired, no doubt. The employer is smart, they deleted the CCTV footages and other things that may used as evidence against them.] A girl spoke through the earpiece that made Iseul click her tongue in annoyance.

This day sure is hell.

She and Rio almost got kidnapped earlier, too. If not for the girl over the earpiece's early warning, they should have been taken, too. Luckily, Akira and Kiyori are quick to send an SOS message to their comrades and prevented the other three from getting abducted as well.

But, it is still a bad situation for group. Their Captain had been shot, and two main fighters are unconscious. Their enemies are getting more vicious as the time goes by.

[But, don't worry. It's nothing I can't retrieve.] K, the girl on the other line reassured her friends.

"Thank you, K. I wish you were here." Iseul sighed.

[We'll be all together soon. Keep strong, you two. Captain would kick yer asses if you get disheartened by this. She raised us to be strong, afterall!]

"True. Captain raised ain't no weak bitches!" Rio laughed, forgetting that they have company as of now.

Their caravan in front of property that is barricaded by tall, yellow, bamboo shoots in various heights, it is decorated by vines that crept beautifully on the stalks. The gate is the same material and it automatically opened when Rio's bike stopped in front of it.

The boys were stunned when they got inside. The property looks normal on the outside but it is actually a paradise inside.

On the wide lawn, there is huge tree with a treehouse in it, and a wheel swing hanging on it. There is a pond with with lily pads and lotus flower, various kinds of koi fishes swimming through the crystal clear water. There is a gazebo on the other side of the lawn and a wooden tea table set.

The main house is a two storey house with an attic balcony. It is painted with hues of brown, giving the property a relaxing and natural vibe.

Rio and Iseul told the guys that they can park on the garage, as well. They were mesmerized once again by the contents of the garage.

It is spacious, and they have six motor bikes in total including the ones Iseul and Rio used. There are two sports car, one painted black with the same design as Arisa's bike, and the other one white, wrapped with rainbow vinyl wrap. There is also a jeep wrangler with a open hood, probably getting fixed.

Rio, Iseul and Takemichi assisted the three guys on getting the three girls off of the bike.

"Captain is unconscious?" Rio asked, rather surprised that Arisa is not awake.

"Yeah. Is that bad?" Mikey bit his inner cheek.

"No, just surprised."

They carried them towards the main house with Rio and Iseul leading them towards the basement. They did not have time to study the interior of the house because Arisa had to be operated immediately.

"Alright, put them on the beds. Eul, can you take care of Kira and Yuri? You just have to do the same thing I do with dextrose." Rio paced through the room that actually looks like a hospital emergency room.

Rio wore a lab coat and washed her hands before wearing latex gloves and went to an inner room. She got out carrying a blood bag and dextrose for Arisa and two fluids to detoxify Akira and Kiyori.

"Now, I need a help. As much as possible, someone who whose good with hands." Rio then turned to the four boys. "Not you, you're shaking. You have to calm down, Captain will be fine. I promise." She told Mikey who was about to volunteer.

"I'll do it." Mitsuya spoke up and immediately did as what Rio did.

"You may go, Eul. I know you're already uncomfortable." Rio told Iseul when she noticed that she's finished taking care of Akira and Kiyori.

Iseul eyed the four boys, before nodding her head with a defeated sigh and went upstairs.

Rio and Mitsuya wore surgical masks before the blonde closed the curtains of Arisa's bed.

"Iseul is diagnosed with androphobia and mysophobia. Don't take her hostility personally." Rio told calmly, as she cut Arisa's clothes.

Mitsuya had a pause when he saw the tattoo at Arisa's back. It is long sword that length on her entire spine, with two dragons snaked around the sword's blade.

"Is it your first time opening someone up?" Rio glanced at Mitsuya while she's examining Arisa's wounds.

"Yeah. And I take it that this is not your first time?"

"Uh-huh. You're Mitsuya-kun, right? Home Ec Club's President? I have treated you at the school clinic before," Rio continued to converse to keep Mitsuya calm.

"Really?" Mitsuya held the tool Rio gestured him to hold.

"Yup. Second year, I think? But, your two friends Hayashi-kun and Hayashida-kun are the ones who often visits the clinic." She chuckled after she successfully took out one of the bullets.

"Those two doesn't know how to keep their shits together."

His statement made Rio laugh out loud. "And you're always the calm one. Are you your gang's Dad Figure or something? You're pretty matured." Rio joked on the second part.

"Most likely because I have two younger sisters. But, Draken's the one who keeps everyone sane, especially Mikey." Mitsuya responded and handed Rio the container to put the other bullet.

"Really? Kira loves children, and she's really whipped when they call them 'onee-san'." Rio chuckled.

"No offense, but she doesn't really look like someone who's good with kids."

Rio laughed once more while stitching up Arisa's wound. "You're right. Because she acts like a bitch most of the time. That's one of her secrets so don't tell her I told you." She winked through her long lashes.

"Pinky promise." Mitsuya chuckled.

After few more minutes, the two finished patching Arisa up. "Not bad for your first operation." She praised the lilac haired boy. "Thank you."

"It's nothing." Mitsuya smiled kindly.

She let Mitsuya out of the curtain first before changing Arisa clothes into comfortable ones.

Rio opened the curtain once again and romoved her latex gloves. "Miyu," she called and a holographic girl with an appearance of a 12 year-old girl appeared.

She's got the same blonde hair, but the darker shade and pair of ruby eyes.

"Yes, nee-san?" She smiled to Rio.

"Monitor their vital signs and report to me every 30 minutes. Also, remind me when Yuri and Aki's IV bags are empty." Rio told the girl with a soft smile.

"I will do my best!" She exclaimed cutely.

"Oh, by the way. This is Miyu. Miyu, they are Toman." She introduced the girl.

"Hello, Miyu-chan!" The boys started to introduce themselves. Mitsuya wanted to pat her head because she reminded him of his little sisters, but he can't since she's just a hologram projection.

"Nice to meet you, Tokyo Manji Gang officials. I am Miyu, an AI assistant made by our Captain Arisa and Intel Officer K. Welcome to our home!" She bowed at them politely and smiled brightly before she disappeared.

"They're safe now. Thank you very much for your help." Rio bowed gratefuly to the boys.

"Don't sweat it." Mikey immediately brushed it off and told Rio to lift her head. "You're always welcome."

"It's already supper. Have dinner here." Rio offered before her she sweat dropped.

"You're going to cook? But, you just operated President." Said Draken.

"Captain taught us to always return favors and I'm not taking a no for an answer." She winked at the boys before hanging her lab coat on a hanger and lead them upstairs.

"So, you did purposely broke your bike?" Rio laughed when Draken exposed that their Commander broke his own bike just to have Arisa fix it.

They are now at the dining area, eating the food the two girls had prepared for them. It is just a simple meal, a savory pork curry and egg roll, Iseul also made them have some kimchi as side dish.

"You're so mean, Ken-chin. It is in the bro code not to expose your bro's secrets!" Mikey puffed his cheeks and pouted.

"Bro code, my ass." Draken scoffed.

"Hey, don't talk about your butt in front of the food! It's gross!" Iseul's face contorted with disgust.

"Hey, Eul. Calm down, your hygiene fetish is showing off." Rio joked that made Iseul almost stab her hand with a fork if she did not dodged it.

"Fuck you!"

"Oh, hard please."

Who knew that one of Third Junior High's most dignified girl at school is actually a carefree and sly girl without her uniform.

Iseul just rolled her eyes and resumed eating. Their conversation would only lead to embarrassment if it continues. Knowing how Rio's mind and mouth works, it'll be nasty.

"Hey," Mikey called out, swallowing the food he shoved in his mouth. "Why does President hates deliquents?"

"Why are you still calling her President? Don't you know her name?" Rio asked back, slightly confused by the way Mikey addresses Arisa, when he just literally called her by name earlier.

Mitsuya chuckled, almost scoffing. "He refuses to say her name because she hasn't introduced herself to him yet."

Rio threw her head back and cackled, "That's...cute. It's been a long time since I saw someone admire Captain openly."

"The last one was a spawn of a devil." Iseul muttered under her breath.

"Besides, it feels wrong addressing her by her name. Dunno why, though. Just gut feels." Mitsuya said in a matter of fact.

"Captain doesn't necessarily hate all deliquents," Rio responded to Mikey's question.

"Just the dumb ones. The ones who uses their strength carelessly without even putting a single mind in it. She hates people who doesn't have an ounce of principle in life, and the only goal is adorn dominance. Most deliquents are like that." Iseul continued Rio's thought.

"But, Toman is different. Toman uses their power to protect." Takemitchi spoke up confidently, his passion filled eyes are gleaming with determination. "Right?" He added with a sweat drop after remembering that he isn't a member of Toman yet around this time.

"Words without proof are empty. You might feel that now, because Toman hasn't gained much power and influence yet. But, who knows when would it all go downhill?" Arisa's voice came from the entrance of the dining area. She leaned her side to the door frame as her arms crossed on her chest.

Her braided hair from earlier is loose, making its crimson strands fall on her back like falls of blood. Her clothes are changed into a fitted tank top and baggy cargo pants, and her wrists are bandaged.

This girl...does she know about the future? Is she a time leaper, too? I have this feeling that this girl is not ordinary eversince I saw her earlier. And feel like I have forgotten a very important matter.

"Absolute power is a double edged sword, it could be a friend or a foe. Are you sure that your Invincible Commander here wouldn't get corrupted once he gains supreme dominance?" Arisa pushed her self off of the door frame and walked towards the pantry and took out a half-filled bottle of wine and a wine glass.

Arisa stared at Mikey's eyes as the atmosphere inside the dining table became dead silent. She sat on the end of the table and poured herself the liquor before inhaling the scent of it.

Her words dug deeper into their minds more than they thought. But, the two founding members of Toman who's with Mikey knew a lot better. That their Commander wouldn't get corrupted and their gang's principle and honor would stay the same until they achieved a new era of deliquents.

"Are you perhaps worried about me, President? That's flattering." Mikey smiled widely as genuine happiness reached his obsidian orbs.

"What?" Arisa almost choked on her drink.

"Besides, aren't you supposed to be resting and not drinking alcohol? You literally just got stitched." The young commander scolded Arisa like a mad husband.

"I woke from a dream and couldn't sleep." Arisa deadpanned and took a sip from her wine glass.

"Oh. Was it good?"

"Terrible."

"Really? Why?"

"Because you're in it." Arisa stood up from her seat.

Rio and Iseul's mouth gaped, as the boys found entertainment on their interaction. Especially the flustered and dumbfounded reaction on Mikey's face.

He looked like an elementary school student who received a love letter for the first time on Valentine's Day.

The Captain, took her glass and wine bottle, she looked back Mikey and said, "We're even now, you can stop chasing after me like a madman." She left to go up to her room before Mikey marched towards Arisa and took a hold of her free hand and made her face him.

"You think I'm only approaching you because you saved Emma?" His words came out more like a statement than a question.

"Why else?" Arisa knitted her eyebrows and tried to retrieve her hand only for Mikey to hold it firmly, but not too tightly.

"I told you, didn't I? President is the one, I've been looking for. I won't give up until you make friends with, even if it means following you down to hell." Mikey spoke with determination while looking directly at Arisa's sunset filled eyes.

Arisa let out a scoff, "Whatever."
