a. Where any person lives or carries on business or other calling;

b. Where people assemble for purposes of business, government, education,

religion, entertainment, or public transportation; or

unit which is property of another constitutes an inhabited structure of another.

proprietary interest therein.

land or water), dam, tunnel, wharf, communications installation, or power station.
