fire codes are too alarmist

e: i say that half jokingly. the site modifications our fire marshal tries to impose in the name of PUBLIC SAFETY!!!!!!!!! get downright ridiculous sometimes.

there was a great thread a while ago started by a fire inspector where he talked about fire safety and how people don't realize just how loving on fire your house can be in seconds if you do stuff that seems completely innocuous, so at least some of the ridiculous rules are there because of that

for sure. fire safety is a huge deal. i’m talking about crazy poo poo like “every vehicle circulation aisle in this big-box retail store’s parking lot needs to be at least 24 feet wide in case we need to deploy our ladder truck!”

i have to explain why regulations are important to people all the time, but stuff like the above example is just too much. doubly so when demands are inconsistently (arbitrarily and capriciously at worst) applied.

amusement parks don't necessarily have a monopoly on foreign slave labor either. i know of at least one ski resort in the catskills that lured foreign workers with the tagline of "come live and work in new york", playing on the general ignorance of foreigners to not realize that new york state != new york city.

lol east lansing had to build extremely expensive railway underpasses because the trains parking would often completely block access to the southern reaches of town for miles across and EMS would have to re-route an extra 20 minutes to get to a call
