Finally! Good to see this since it's clear that some people don't understand.
Arguing with them is pointless. I guess it takes a law.

My approach would rely on database locking. Seems like a good fit.

Since I'm developing a new game, I will be porting it to VR at some point. Right now I don't have the equipment.

Pretty sure they need to safely dismantle this building and try again.
In non-earthquake prone areas, it might make sense to jack it up and what not, but not in SF.

Re:How to Avoid Being Called a Bozo When Producing XML (2005)

Compared to the problems when dealing with 'delimited text', XML is great.
Also it's flexible where you can specify properties as attributes or child nodes, depending on wildcard specifications.
So I have dealt with lots of edge-case XML situations, but the solutions are always straight forward. Also it helps to have a client vs. trying to parse out raw XML, which means programming and scripting sometimes relies on personal tool development. XML handles scope creep well.
