So I was taking a walk in Palo Alto today -- I think along Webster Street -- and noticed one of those (common in Palo Alto) new-ish homes with fancy light wells for the habitable space in the basement. (It's popular because basements don't count as floor area for zoning code!)

Don't worry, the maid can escape via a 3 foot deep light well.

Oh, I already did; see nitter.vloup.ch/davidbaron/statu… (thread) and nitter.vloup.ch/davidbaron/statu… ... but our common readers might still enjoy it.

That screenshot cuts off another key piece. (And if you walk around rich parts of Palo Alto you can spot the new houses by the light wells and the egress ladders for their basements.)
