I think NYC is king of sunlight regulation https://www.nyc.gov/assets/oec/technical-manual/08_Shadows_2...
I mean actually read it. It basically says shadows don’t really matter much and you barely need to worry about them and then goes on to spell out in very clear detail what happens when they do matter so there don’t have to be moronic lawsuits every time someone wants to build a low rise apartment building.

Yeah Airbnb has become so outrageously expensive and is so much less convenient than a hotel that it's almost never worth it anymore, it's crazy.
Things must be different here (BC, Canada). I can't think of why I'd ever rent a hotel room when AirBnB's are usually a similar price and way more comfortable (usually). Unless I had a worry about cancellations I suppose.
I never know if that Airbnb will have toilet paper, towels, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, etc. and for everything that they don't I have to do a supermarket trip and buy a quantity that would last 2 months when I'm staying 2 days.
Then when you leave, despite paying 20% of cleaning fees, you may be asked to do the dishes, vaccum the floor, etc.
All of that together has an extremely high cost, especially on a vacation.

Only times I enjoy airbnb are when I am travelling alone, don't need more than a room, and want to actually have the opportunity to chat and get tips from the host.

Hiring this type of professional does not come at a "competitive rate"
Travel Agents tend to be free (for the traveler), what are you talking about?

Negotiate if you’re staying for a month or more. I frequently get prices that are less than half the asking price.
At least the 15% or so fee from booking portals are easily waved. If you are off season and the hotel is empty anyway they often are happy to go even further.

What? Why?
The author probably intended it to be an hilarious joke, but they assumed you are as well versed in Fox News identity politics as they, sadly, are

They really did make that bridge as ugly as possible.
From below, I suspect most structures like that are ugly. But personally I think the new bridge span looks nicer than what it replaced. Not gonna sing its praises, but I think it's an improvement.

You’re right about the first part. I don’t have Fox News so I’m not sure about the second part. I’m not particularly sad about it but thank you for your concern.
Pretty neat that you can view the whole circumference of the house, and _almost_ read the plaque outside, in Street View: https://goo.gl/maps/8Xc6MUhmAdKQTXbHA It brings to mind good memories of family outings spent in former officer's housing, up in Officers Row at Fort Worden, WA. Hide & seek was a lot of fun.
