Can you query to find the top parcels in a neighborhood by the volume inside the zoning envelope?

Like mine is 62,671 cubic feet. How does that compare to the rest of the neighborhood?

Is there a β€œfloor plan sq ft” metric for that too?

Would be a real shame if suddenly the roads leading to these warehouses were removed by the city.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Fun fact: With the seats folded into the floor, you can fit an entire Urban Arrow into a minivan, where a crew cab pickup truck will fail to accommodate one.

Here's the Trib editorial board saying that ICE requiring a warrant signed by a judge before arresting someone is "going through the bureaucratic hoops"

An excerpt from Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter by Kate Conger and Ryan Mac:

β€œ>>> THE FOLLOWING DAY, Musk was sitting, despondent, in a suite at a cavernous football stadium in Glendale, Arizona. It was Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, and despite having one of the poshest seats as a guest of Rupert Murdoch, the media tycoon whose Fox network was broadcasting the game, Twitter's owner simply could not look away from his phone. During the first quarter of the football game, he had tweeted, "Go @Eagles!!!," a harmless show of support for the team from Philly, where Musk had spent time as an undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania.”

During the first quarter of the football game, he had tweeted, "Go @Eagles!!!," a harmless show of support for the team from Philly, where Musk had spent time as an undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania.”

β€œAbout forty minutes after Musk's tweet, President Joe Biden used the official @POTUS Twitter account to broadcast his own Super Bowl message. "As your presi-dent, I'm not picking favorites," he wrote, including a video of the First Lady in a custom Philadelphia jersey. "But as Jill Biden's husband, fly Eagles, fly."

The president's tweet rocketed across the platform. Despite the account having less than a fourth of Musk's followers, the @POTUS post quickly surpassed Musk's own pro-Eagles proclamation, eventually racking up 29 million views to Musk's 8.4 million.
As an enthralling game played out in front of him, Musk ignored the cheers and the bone-crunching tackles, and kept comparing his tweet against Biden's, before deleting his post in anger. He fired off an email to Twitter's product engineers, demanding they immediately find the cause, and then began making arrangements for people to meet him back at Twitter's office that night. Musk left the game early and was already back on his private jet flying to San Francisco before the red and white confetti fell for the Chiefs' victory.”

What a pathetic loser. How empty he is inside. The reason no one was interested in his tweet was that it was boring and bad!

My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.
