OK well biting my tongue wikipedia says that St Davids in Wales has city status with a population of 1,751… but I doubt they’re the local planning authority.

Salem, OR and Portland

Innotech and ECO

I guess they’re becoming so? In both projects they weren’t even specifically specified, but were just the most affordable option.

My last two projects have had screens on tilt-and-turn windows. Is this rare?
