You're misreading. The analysis, which I agree with, assumes that people in that situation want a sociofugal space.
Secondly by having an open space where lots of social interaction occurs, I'd imagine people would get less stressed than if they were put into a tiny waiting room facing examination rooms...
In a medical facility, I disagree. Their analysis is correct.

Regardless of how you feel, it is a fact that A is correct.
I mean if you could get labor from rural Mississippi to work NYC it would be cheaper than going non union...
Nope. First of all, you're assuming that qualified craftsmen will work for a lot less just because they're from an area with a lower cost of living.
Which leads to a second point you're ignoring. Even if base wages are lower, in order for crews to go far afield of their base, and that does happen on occasion, you must factor in housing and per diem costs.

anonymous283 wrote:Ballast has a similar question and they say 300 to 400 sq ft per car is required. Kaplan says 400 sq ft. But I think both are wrong. 90 degree parking requires 24 foot wide lanes with 18 foot long parking spots on each side (60 feet total). So I took 325 cars divided by 2 for one side of parking x 9 feet per car = 1467 feet x 60 feet = 88020 divided by 43560 = 2 acres. The more parking spots you have, the more efficient this system is. For this instance you get 270 sq ft per car.

The dining terrace may not go to grade. In addition, exits must end at a public way. The dining terrace would not fit that.
