what’s a good response to staff concerns on fire safety?

Seattle has done this safely for 48 years.

With sprinklered buildings there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the redundant stair is providing net benefit, while causing real harm in terms of overheating risk and length of travel.

I’ve been reading about the single stair thing for months, and it never really clicked until just now seeing these illustrations. Please continue using them, they are super helpful!

Also, the link below is related because 6 storey single stair buildings can better compete, economically, with townhouses and towers if the elevator is right-sized and more affordable.

I wonder where this crippling fear of change that afflicts so many people seems to come from

I get that risk management is the main portfolio for some of the staff, but I just don't see how you don't also see the risks inherent to the status quo.

I’ll see if Strong Towns Vancouver could write something 👍🏼
