Lighting makes a bigger difference for mood and productivity than we give it credit. I remember when we were forced back to an office with very little light, after working from home in a well-lit room. It took the life and happiness right out of me.

Many of these projects would have been already planned. It’s as of right, in the center plan. There’s no approval process, just submit building permits. I have a site that was 3 units, immediately after HAF came in, they asked the drafter to add two more units and resubmitted the application haha
planned.as

Partly this, partly that demand is so far ahead of supply that even 4 units is not enough to make a project feasible.
