The roofs were hot. I expect ground level in the shade of the house would be better for efficiency.
Perhaps it had something to do with the location of the indoor unit? I am used to them in the basement or first floor, but some places put them in the ceiling.

That is the nice thing about the American Way. Just call up the neighboring states’ militias and ask who didn’t show up for drills and if any weapons are missing.

We know.
There are a number of people that have a home in the country with their family, and they travel to the city to work. Sometimes they are homeless during the work, or rent a small room.
No, it is not the ideal solution, but it is a solution. Fixing the housing situation is beyond most people’s power, and it will take a long time for those trying to fix it to actually fix it.

I know a city in California with the heat exchangers on the roof. Do you have any idea why? (The properties were large enough the footprint wouldn’t be an issue.)
Where I am in the USA Midwest the heat exchangers are all on the ground as they are easier to install and maintain.

It is always tempting to try to justify one’s position and get out of being laid-off/fired.
The decision has been made by those that “know your position”, or your manager is being let go next.

Linus Torvalds is super well known for creating Linux. Linux is heavily used in “tech”. Linus is not a common name globally.
Personally, I had expected that “Linux Tech Tips” was Linux Torvalds giving Linux tech tips. Clearly, I have no bothered to read any of them.

What could the motivations of the owner be, if not to make money?
Please add to my list:- prestige
- tax avoidance
- boost retirement savings (in the USA, business owners can stuff their retirement accounts with LOTS of cash.)
- Create and disguise a "sex pad"
- improve the community by providing jobs and/or needed services (start a coffee shop so that there is a coffee shop.)
- time filler
Of those, I think a very healthy 401K contribution from the employer to the employee would be motivating to those already paid well.
Many employees already use the business as a sex pad. (Conference rooms can be gross.)

Seems the pink paper has a backing on it to stiffen it. Upper left corner seems to show the backing, which may be pink cardboard. Given the mounting location, I would expect it to be “floppy” like the “lined” paper without a stiffener. All of my above to say, I think someone put a “lot” of effort into the pink sign.
