...if I could get a 9 story tower approved. The guy is pretty cool and owns this place:
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
It would be a hard choice. At first I would chose the GT3 RS becuase race car. But then I started thinking how it wouldn;t be the most practical daily driver or family car. The Bentley would be pretty nice, especially in New England with the AWD. I’d love to get back into a “truck” with the Range Rover fancy edition or the G-Wagon, both of which would allow for some fun camping trips and would easily fit the family. The Macan GTS looks like it would be a blast as well.
What would OPPO do?
By the way, there is no chance in HELL a 9 story tower would ever get approved in this location. I will be driving the Focus notSTorRS forever

Probably the best vehicle they have for a normal person to drive, excepting the honda’s and acura’s they have.

Does 9 stories even qualify as a tower?

Just a 4x4?

I think 9 stories is perfectly adequate thank you very much

I’d probably go with the super fancy Range Rover. It would make an amazing DD.
I know I don’t have the talent to ring every tenth of a second that the Porsche is capable of, and that would frustrate me over time. Going with a competent DD means I could then buy a track toy more inline with my actual driving ability that I could enjoy more because I’d know I was getting everything possible out of it.

location location location I guess.
Our city council just sent a proposal for a 25 story tower back to the developer because the city didn’t feel it was tall enough. Granted this is the downtown core we’re talking about, so were it elsewhere the discussion might be different.

we had a h ell of a time getting a 5 story tower approved a little outside the downtown area. we are working on a 6 story tower at the edge of downtown and even that isn’ t easy but should get through.

If I’m involved in building it and there isn’t a skip/elevator running when I get there, I’m in total agreement. It’s one thing hoofing it 6 flights of stairs. Doing it repeatedly throughout the day while encumbered by workstuffs is another matter entirely. 100+ flights in a day tends to take it out of you. Been there, done that, kill me.

Do basements count as stories? Build 4 stories down, 5 stories up.
Or, tell the people on the planning board you’ll take them for a ride in your Porsche that you’ll get when they approve your plan.

No brainer, GT3 RS for sure, but if Mrs. Humpkins insisted on something more practical, the Macan GTS (even with those horrid wheels).

I dont think a condo/apartment would sell very well underground with no windows so i’d have to bet on option B

If purple GT3 RS is a choice, always choose purple GT3 RS.

Tell him you’ll need 50 grand cash up front , plus the car after approval. Then just walk that 30k down to city hall and grease some p al ms.
Nothing but net.

going any more than one floor down is prett y expensive to do, especially if you get into ground water or rock

Just propose a 14 story building with the top 5 floors looking terribly ugly and out of place. Then when they refuse just go ‘Ok, w hat if we just built the bottom 9 floors?’ and suddenly it looks right. (Yes I realize that won’t work with a 9 story place where 5 or 6 is the norm, but this seems to be the strategy I see here in Saratoga NY. All renders of new buildings you see in the paper seem to be intentionally a few floors taller then they will be).
Or just cover the top 4 floors with mirror glass. Or camouflage netting?

5 or 6 isnt even the norm for this area, 2-3 is maybe up to 4. This property has a huge slope to it so the front will probably be 3 and as it goes down the hill it will probably end up as 6

I would consider ownership costs over anything else. Brakes, tires, etc. Even if the case is under warranty, these will be very expensive.

Make story 9 a public space with a coffee shop and play ground. (everyone loves a beautiful view)
Make story 8 offices
Makes stories 1-7 housing if that was the purpose of the building?
