Austin single-stair update: we have a clean five-story legalization, all the poison pills have been taken out! https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=444525
We will be working hard to get this to six stories, but take a look at this from the public engagement summary. That's you! That's us! We did that!

Comments
* No restrictions on Type IIIA materials
* No two-per-property limit
* No pressurization (good in theory, unproven in practice + constantly breaking)
* No double-width stairs
* The staircase can be external to the building
This is all on top of the floor area, unit, and travel limits
