Yes. An actual lot that you stand on is usually 100% flat. You can have a flat area around you of about 30 mile radius, and is not affected by the curvature of the Earth that much. I'm not aware of one single paved lot that covers 60 miles from end to end. If it was, some factor would have to be added in the building process, probably. When engineers look at the terrain they have all these scopes that allow them to make flat surfaces. Flatness per lot kind of takes care of itself when lots are adjacent to each other.

This is how I remember it:\n-- affect refers to feelings + emotion; think of it as the root for "affection"\n-- effect is the result of an action; think "cause and effect"\n\nThis is what my computer's dictionary says:\nUSAGE:  Affect and effect are both verbs and nouns, but only effect is common as a noun, usually meaning 'a result, consequence, impression, etc.':: my father’s warnings had no effect on my adventurousness. The noun affect is restricted almost entirely to psychology (see affect 2 ). As verbs, they are used differently. Affect most commonly means 'produce an effect on, influence': | smoking during pregnancy can affect the baby's development. Affect also means 'pretend to have or feel (something)' (see affect 3 ): | she affected a concern for those who had lost their jobs. Effect means 'bring about': | the negotiators effected an agreement despite many difficulties.
