String length when defined #2 is also fairly complex when it comes to some languages such as Hindi. There are some symbols in Hindi which are not characters and can never exist as their own character but when placed next to a character they create a new character. So when you type them out on a keyboard you have to bit two keys but only one character will appear on screen. Unicode too represents this as two separate characters but for human eye it is one.

त + या = त्या

Following code will print 4

console.log("त्या".length);

The long story short the couple should hire the right contractor who has the city officials on take and things will go smoothly

The real problem with most american cities is that there isn't that much crime yet the politicians feel the need to fight non-existent unfightable crime by making our lives miserable. California could have lead the way in offering good solutions for homelessness, mental illness, drug war, school choice etc. but yet it pushes for more and more nazi styled policies.

Liability insurance for example will come under this and so will the retainer for the lawyers who will help you understand complexities of ACA.

Isn't that proven to be a mostly false notion? Lower taxes tend to bring in more revenue and create more employment.

Drugs destroy life ? They dont destroy it as much as spending 10 years in jail for having few gms of heroine.

The overall theme of politics these days is to create an "other" group and blame everything on that group. Demonise that group and take more power in hand to then hurt them to cover up the failures of the government doing basic things.

Muslims, illegal immigrants, Asians, China, Blacks, stoners, hippies, Rock musicians, top 1% etc.

Thus government gets to pretend that they are doing something for "us".

Vast majority of illegal immigrants perhaps just keep their head low and work hard. Also, they barely get anything from welfare and work below minimum wages. It is probably the criminal aspect that is sucking the system and good solution for that is to decriminalise drugs and help American companies sell drugs for a profit instead relying on Mexican cartels.

I have never understood why Mexican citizens cant get a 30 day to 1 years temporary below-minimum wage job permit

I know founders who had employed 10+ American being rejected visa and sometimes entry for no good reason. I have seen cops, CBP officials and other government departments harassing these individuals all the time.

The obvious solution for H1B is to increase the cap from 85K to 200K or so while giving instant green-cards to all the pending applicants.
