Since this thread as a deep love and affection for staircases I thought folks might want to know about this opportunity to give feedback to the BC government about designs for single staircase apartments.

https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024HOUS0009-000086

quote:

Current British Columbia Building Code (BCBC) and British Columbia Fire Code (BCFC) requirements call for at least two egress, or exit, stairwells per floor in many buildings three storeys and higher. The RFP seeks options for what would be needed to protect safety, access and egress of occupants, while achieving the benefits of single egress stair designs in buildings up to eight storeys – more flexibility for multi-bedroom apartments, more density within areas of transit-oriented development and the potential to improve energy efficiency in buildings.

“The opportunity for new multi-family residential buildings to be designed as single stair could be a game-changer for cost savings in our projects, that could directly contribute to lowering rents,” said Steven Hurst, director of real estate development at Cool Aid Society. “It could also make development feasible on smaller lots. Small lots are often the only opportunity non-profit societies have to create new housing, but most can't accommodate a multi-family building under the current regulations without needing to acquire neighbouring properties at increased expense and longer timelines.”

SES building designs can build on advancements in fire and life safety, while requiring only one exit stairwell per floor. Single egress designs promote efficiency by removing requirements for space dedicated to internal corridors and staircases, allowing for better use of space for building occupants. SES building designs are currently implemented in major cities such as Seattle and New York.

Consultants, if selected, will be required to engage with the Ministry of Housing, fire professionals, members of the accessibility community, engineers and architects, code users, technical safety specialists, and others to identify considerations and mitigation measures relating to access, egress, fire and life safety.

In fall 2023, the Province adopted the British Columbia Building and Fire Codes (BC Codes 2024) to provide people with a greater level of building safety and to make new buildings more cost-effective and efficient.

This work is part of the Province’s Homes for People action plan. Announced in spring 2023, the plan builds on historic action to deliver housing since 2017 and sets out further actions to deliver the homes people need faster, while creating more vibrant communities throughout B.C.

you can ask these same questions about Jan 6th in the US. The people marched right by the HQs of the security services and into a zone with the probably greatest concentration of serving officers in the US per square mile.

Jan 6 went on for hours. The ottawa occupation went on for weeks. People had plenty of time to have a good think, sleep on it, and think some more before deciding to do nothing.

Honestly it seems fine for small buildings. These aren't sprawling structures with dozens of units per floor. Instead for 4 small lots being combined to build one big building with 2 staircases, they can build 4 small buildings each with 1 staircase. For a net increase in staircases.

plot twist: they get rid of the second stair case but mandate so many additional other fire safety measures it actually makes it more expensive not to have a second staircase

you know thats whats going to happen

Canada is denying its feeblest citizens the tender, lethal embrace of our secular god, the All-Maid.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/special-joint-committee-maid-mental-illness-report-1.7095679

quote:

Conservative and NDP members of the joint committee on medical assistance in dying (MAID) say they want an indefinite pause on the pending expansion of MAID eligibility to include cases of mental illness. That expansion is set to take place on March 17.

The very concept of Homo economicus is on trial here. Can the rational, self-interested person deductively reason their way to their own assisted suicide? No, say the Cons and NDP, with unusual moral clarity.

quote:

Cooper said he was swayed by psychiatrists who told the committee it would be difficult — if not impossible — for medical professionals to decide whether a mental illness is beyond treatment, or whether someone's request for MAID is rational or motivated by suicidal ideation.

But the All-Maid must have her quota of souls. Her loyal followers know this. For them, compassion is the earthly form of their mother's love, a love so potent it will stop your heart.

quote:

"What I think we need to be led by is ... compassion," said Kutcher, a psychiatrist who pushed for MAID to include mental illness.
