Default Re: HVAC vent
Returns are not supposed to be that close.

Is that a return?

Still a supply in this apparent location has a handfull of associated issues concerning de-pressurization of the house.

It looks like a supply, in which case no.

It looks to me it's in an unfinished space, so "yes".
