Mailroom aside, if a delivery guy is fine crossing a city with 20/30k people horizontally in traffic, I don't really see why this is such a bad thing when you break it down.

I count 35 floors, so you can cut it down to ~850 people on each floor after an elevator ride, and a building like this will probably have at least 4 elevator areas sectioning the building almost equally.

So you're down to about ~210 people after entering the right side of the building, that's like a big street / small neighborhood (and how far you have to walk should scale closely to that). And with this much people in one area you can really easily batch deliveries. And a delivery place will probably settle quite closely to such a hub of people anyways.

at least 4 elevator areas sectioning the building almost equally.

each elevator lobby also has its own address. It's less confusing than you'd imagine, and also any delivery drivers will have been there before.

Also: big buildings usually have cargo elevators. It would be insanity to "door-dash" every last package on the passenger cars, limited by what could be carried or lugged on a hand-truck. Instead, they would load up the whole car from the truck on a loading dock, then deliver one floor at a time, start/stopping the car where needed.

If you can put a city in one building that beats driving in snow

I want to see dead malls turned into mini cities.

If there is tofu dreg in the construction, the architect and builders are gonna charged with a genocide. (if building collapse, thousands die)

And this is not because American propaganda or whatever. My family is from mainland China and my mother told me about all those tofu-dreg stuff. To be very clear, this is not the people's fault, its not individuals being "lazy", its a systematic issue. There's so much corruption and bribery.

Food safety is another one of the big issues. For a supposedly "socialist" government, they sure are doing quite a lot regulating food, by "a lot" I mean jack shit.

I'm suspecting if my older brother is being an asshole because he lived there like approximately 5 years longer there and suffered some food poisoning (like maybe lead) or something and totally has zero empathy. Parents are also shitty. I mean there has got to be lead or something.

(No I did not live in one of these mega buildings lol, mine was more like a 10 story building, no elevators, lackluster of safety barriers. I hate that place lol, so much bad memories of my abusive older brother.)

Luckily each unit has a number that indicates the floor and each floor probably has a floormap near the elevator, so you won't have to go knocking on random doors until you find the person.

Same thing for making deliveries in cities of several million. If there's an effective addressing system, it's usually trivial to find the destination, or at least to get very close to it and switch to "ok wtf is going on here with the last bit of this address?" mode.

Just do what my delivery drivers do. Leave it at the main entrance and mark it delivered.

Got nothing on Kowloon. That was a marvel. Scary, probably deadly, but a marvel nonetheless.

They probably have a number of diverse food kitchens in there, and would most likely "buy local", anyway. That building being basically a slum, I doubt that there is much delivery from the outside.

This is dumb. You can't let delivery guys/gals up into the hallways unaccompaioned in an apartment building this size. You have to go down to the front door
