we should simply pass a law that requires laminate countertops. from what I can tell that will make the condos affordable and solve the housing crisis.

Suplex Liberace posted:old houses rule. Why cant we just use the old floor plans but better materials. As with most things, the common underlying reason for why something doesn't exist is because ~it's banned~. Not An Architect, but I've been told that a major driving cause for really bad condo floor plans is because Canada almost uniquely in the world demands two staircases for small apartment buildings, which results in a building form with "double loaded corridors" which result in limited layout options, less windows, and worse airflow. The good news is that it looks like the BC government is having a strong look at joining the rest of the world in allowing single staircases for apartments upto 6 stories. https://twitter.com/KahlonRav/status/1732124363007377825

Femtosecond posted:As with most things, the common underlying reason for why something doesn't exist is because ~it's banned~. Allowing for more, and worse, tenement fires by getting ride of codes, rather than forcing developers to build is exactly what's wrong with Canadian political horizons. The idea that we need to do everything we can to entice private capital to doing socially useful things, often including dismantling our own regulatory (state) power and ability to exercise authority where it might interfere in the bottom line, it's absurd. They're not loving rain gods that need to be sacrificed to and entreated for Christ's sake. e: Building codes like "requiring two stairwells" are usually the result of some pretty bad things happening in the not too distant past. And if you're thinking, "well, buildings are safer now", this would be dismantling one of the codes that make them safe. Who's to say the other codes don't also "limit options" and impede our poor developers from building housing tomorrow, which they would surely do if fire doors didn't need to open outwards and wiring and insulation weren't so onerous to install?

Single-Stair Layouts Are Not Going to Fix the Housing Crisis: They’re a good idea, but they’re not going to liberate us from capitalism. It doesn't matter how "easy" we make things for developers, because this idea that you have to entice them into doing socially useful things is a non-starter.

DaysBefore posted:Oh man I almost moved into a really great two bedroom above that Subway like three years ago. It was only 900ish lol. Then I was walking by one day and noticed the development proposal poster on the side and went 'oh, I see'. Anyway it'd be a shame to lose Mary's Place their breakfast is really good You dodged a bullet if you value consistently going to bed before midnight, since that building was a classic party spot.

This isn't D&D, so I get to be more blunt. FF is correct. Building life and fire safety regulations are written in blood. Two staircases represent two points of ingress/egress in case of emergency, a redundant back up available to occupants should the need arise. Single-access egress makes smaller-lot multi-family development more efficient, but it'll be interesting to see how this is actually implemented.

Fidelitious posted:It takes some real gumption to proclaim that replacing 2 floors of dilapidated housing and fast food joints with 60 stories of housing has no benefit in a housing crisis. The real problem with this imo is that peninsular Halifax is already beyond saturated in regards to traffic congestion. Between a transit system that is dysfunctional to the point of being a parody of itself, the road infrastructure foundations being created during the time of the horse and buggy that there is literally no room left to expand upon (without eminent domaining the poo poo out of neighborhoods surrounding existing arteries) and chokepoints that cause 45 minute delays in all directions everytime there's so much as a fender-bender, dropping multiple 30+ story residential buildings right smack downtown is just foolish for the foreseeable future. These are problems (including the current housing crisis) that have been brewing for the last 20 years, and our municipal governments have been head-in-the-sand about it the whole time. Now they can't ignore it but are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Addressing any one problem now just makes existing problems worse. It's a no win scenario and we'll be digging ourselves out of this hole for a long time.

Lol wait til they shut down Barrington for all the (Joker voice) condos and office towers (Joker voice ended) they're building by the old Interchange. Pedestrians stay winning - except me, who also has to take transit to get downtown and am therefore perpetually owned

Just live downtown, problem solved. If you can't afford to live downtown, make downtown bigger or rebrand your neighbourhood with a trendy alternative like "uptown".

My building has the two stairwells in a kind of double-helix configuration so it's pretty space efficient.
