Ryan Holmes is peddling Cascadian independence now?  https://www.inc.com/ryan-holmes/why...t8BmjBSGA%3D%3D quote:I'm all for it, especially during a time when so much energy is being put into blocking the free movement of people and ideas across borders. But why stop there? Why not lay the foundation for an unbroken belt of innovation that extends all the way down the coast to Silicon Valley? If that vision gets co-opted by the libertarian tech bro crowed, please kill me.

Ie: Who gives a gently caress if you're grandfather came from Switzerland or Sudan, your traits have been more heavily shaped by a 200km radius around where you've lived your life. Although that was dreamed up before the internet was what it is today, which I think has had a highly corrosive impact on the theory.

Hey guys did you know that government can't solve the problem and the real problem is supply and to solve that we need to build woodframe condos?

yay condo life We have two capped natural gas lines on our terrace and no one can tell us where the shut-off valve for those gas lines can be found. Property management says, "dunno", caretaker says, "dunno", and I'm pretty sure one of the neighboring units that had a valve installed on their capped line just had a gas fitter put it on with the gas flowing - just pop your thumb over the pipe and hope you don't spark it.

I suspect few condo owners even know where the water shut off is, let alone the gas.

Absolutely not. In doing fire plans for condos and apartments it's shocking the number of buildings that have no idea where either of those things are. All those times you hear about a condo where the sprinkler went off on a floor and flooded the whole building for hours? That's because no one knew where the shut off was. Every floor and often sub-areas of floors will have shut-offs for sprinklers. Each unit will generally have water shut-offs as well. In the mechanical room will be the main sprinkler valve and domestic valve. Someone's unit is flooding! What do we do? Where's 206's valve? Someone call a plumber! Who did the mechanical for our building? Who do we call??? Who has the key to the mechanical room? *hours and $700,000 later* oh we found the domestic incoming valve, it wasn't in the mechanical room it was in a weird random storage room in the parkade.

cowofwar posted:Yeah they can't tell us where the water shut off is either. I'm betting someone dry walled over it. Can you get access to the blueprints for the condo building from the strata or something. Presuming that something like that would actually be on the building plans and not just done on the fly by whoever built the place.

My goon, a building I was working on in January was flooded from the 15th floor down because they couldn't find the water shutoff. The building I am currently on put glass panels over 5 water faucets on the roof, permanently sealing them off.

cowofwar posted:There is always a little map of each floor by the elevator but they never put actual useful info on it like fire extinguisher locations or shut-off valves. Just unit numbers and a lovely map. There's supposed to be a book at every lobby with the fire plan that clearly shows that stuff. Also I like to put important valves on the zone maps, which are generally an overall map of the building. The maps by the elevator absolutely should have extinguisher locations, and pull stations. They're not for fire fighters though, they're for people in the building to know what to do in case of a fire. Fire departments all are getting digital versions of these so before they even show up at the building they've looked over the plans and know where the electrical room is, know where the valves are, know what "level 6 east mezzanine" is and so on. The hard part is making sure every single building in the city has this data collected.
