Austin city council just passed a resolution directing staff to look at single-stair reform as a part of their 2024 building code update! Single stair apartments are illegal in most.US cities, with most places requiring dual stairs. Think of your average large apartment complex or hotel, how it's usually one single corridor with rooms on both sides and a stairway at both ends. A single stair though basically reduces the amount of circulation space required in a multi-unit building, allowing for more living space as well as better floor plans, better light, better architecture in general. Think of many of those European style apartments you've seen, most are probably single-stair that is illegal to build here. Many peoples first thought is "that seems unsafe", but nothing really points to that being true. https://ggwash.org/view/93257/how-single-stair-apartments-can-improve-fire-safety? Safety advances should be evaluated together --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ... Copied to Clipboard!

*Starts to sweat in Fire Inspector* Good argument to show that you don't lose much fire safety by only having the single stair cases. And you can still have it where you just increase the maximum height for buildings that are single stairs based on improvements we've made in general fire safety TMOG posted... Also Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz and an electrical grid that kills itself every time you get snow or heat Texas is building more solar, battery, and wind that California.

Its way more important to have affordable housing than over regulations on what if scenarios. Which were probably passed in the first way to keep supply of homes low.
Problem is that whatever is getting built, its still not gonna be affordable. People need sub 250k homes. --- SEXY SEXY! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I doubt that'll lower the housing prices here.
They are constantly building new apartment buildings everywhere here and rent hasn't gone down at all. --- ~snip (V)_(;,;)_(V) snip~ I'm just one man! Whoa! Well, I'm a one man band! https://imgur.com/p9Xvjvs ... Copied to Clipboard!

The crisis won't be fixed solely by increasing the housing supply through upzoning and making it easier to build, but it won't be fixed without these things. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ...
