Worked on loops like this for many yrs in NYC. Think it is an urban occurrence. I was once told that it was adopted to facilitate customer moves to different apartment buildings in the same neighborhood. This comports with tales my parents told of days in NYC when landlords would give 1-2 months free rent if you moved into their building. City dwellers who liked certain neighborhoods moved constantly from building to building to live rent free. Sort of like switching LD carriers in the eighties for checks and blenders.dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374633053013225254noreply@blogger.com
