Participant[quote=ninaprincess]Are you sure your hearing is good? 🙂
[quote=EmilyHicks]Thanks UCGal,
I slept in house for the first time last night and I barely notice the noise if I don’t pay attention. I guess I am more tolerant to noise than some. I have lived in a similar home with road noise in the past. Nevertheless, I will install double-pane windows and patio door for the back side of the house.
[quote=UCGal]Congratulations, Emily.[/quote][/quote][/quote]
I grew up about 100 ft away from MM blvd. (which is much busier than Calle Cristobol) and the house only have single pane windows as well. Yet, noise didn’t bother me at all inside or out. So, it really depend on the people. Some people learn to just ignore the noise. It’s kind of like the 15 second pause when the jets fly by. I don’t really notice them anymore while others get annoyed by them.March 16, 2011 at 4:30 PM in reply to: The new style of single family house: what’s your thought? #677602Participant[quote=freshman]
No driveway in front : I see lot of people park their cars on driveway and garage is just a big storage only. Driveway in front makes people have a habit to park their cars outside and less street parking space. Garage/covered parking is supposed to protect your car from sun and rain so your car can last longer. [/quote]
I don’t think it people who use their garage as storage will do so whether the garage is in front or not. When you have more stuff than your house can hold, you start to use the garage to store things. Then there are things you don’t want to store in your house, like a miter saw, your tools, air compressor, christmas stuff, etc. Those are the things I store in my garage. Then there are people who have ATV, weekend car, jet ski, etc. Those goes in the garage as well. So, lets say you have 2 kids in HS w/ their own cars, two additional cars for the 2 parents, and your garage is used to store the stuff above. Where would you park your cars if you don’t have a drive way? With drive way, you can park 2-3 of your cars in the drive way and 1 -2 on the street. If you don’t have a drive way, you’ll have all 4 on the street.Streets is not that narrow but streets in Del Sur is quite narrow. Imagine if the neighborhood is more mature where more residence have HS aged kids and they’ve lived in the house long enough to accumulate stuff. I can see the are being filled w/ cars on the street and lack of parking space for guests. Especially if you decide to have a big party.

Well, for those who care places like youporn work fine in Safari.I don’t know. As a developer I get frustrated on a daily basis with the limits Apple imposed onto me. Could be as trivial as not being able to control the focal point of suck/genie transition (the trash sucking photos or emails on delete) without using private API, my last night’s time waster. On the other hand, many users would not approve of an app digging up the email address associated with the iTunes account.
Once I exit my circle of geeks people appear to be more like TG and they don’t seem to care about the inability to customize the look&feel of the ‘OK’ button.[/quote]
captcha, it’s about choices and being able to do something. Being able to do something, even if it’s bad for you is still better than having someone else telling you that you can’t do it because they know what’s best for you. You can search those site just as well on Android’s browser. Even sites that uses flash ;-).I totally agree with you have development and iOS. For crying out loud, you can’t even do strike through on your text easily. If you try to step outside of their “preferred” look and feel, it gets soooo much harder to do.
I wouldn’t go as far as not caring about the inability to customize but maybe they don’t know any better.
