And he doesn't want to pay too many "buiding footprint surface" property taxes.
Because this was measured on ground floor level only, it was custom to make each
additional floor overhang consideably, thus creating "tax-free" floorspace.In

meet with their adjacent nabours, nearly brigding the narrow streets.
