like none of the houses on avenue road have any architectural merit but building some flats there (even "luxury" ones) would be like trying to pull teeth from a hungry lion. But people say it's the developers being greedy for knocking down multimillion pound single family homes to build more units

the Metra conductors keep the police on edge because they 100% will hold up the train if someone needs to get off and won't. they also throw off anyone who decides to cross in front of a moving train to catch it when the bells are on. that will happen, a description will be heard over the conductor's radios, and all the conductors/brakemen scramble to find whoever it was and toss him and/or get the Metra Police at the ready to meet at the next station.

And up-to-date rule books weren’t always available, because of problems with the printer and three-hole puncher. Not that current manuals would have mattered. Controllers saw little need for written procedures or checklists.

a lot of building codes mandate a certain number of parking spots per square foot. Shoup's The High Cost of Free Parking discussed this at length.
