The craziest is that cabin-motor driven elevators (where there are electric motors attached to the cabin) aren’t allowed in the U.S. even though they’re 1) as safe; 2) can be much faster than hydraulic or pulley-based alternatives; and 3) take far less building space to install.

i mean i get your drift and perhaps they can be tweaked and more sensible, but pretty sure that most european elevators i’ve been on sucked balls and were wobbly rectangles of skank and potential death

What about the regulations that limit the number of manufacturers to just a handful.

I'd like to see

and the

team do a deep dive into how to fix this. Not just observing how union deals and code reqs make it expensive (this is well established), but putting together a plan of action to actually change this. They can marshall the expertise to do it

Oh no one 20% more expensive elevator per building so when people have a heart attack in a multi story building, the EMTs can get a stretcher to them. Think of the landlords' foregone rentable area taken up by 394 sq feet of hoist way! That's almost 1/3 of one apartment!

hey man, i know that due to ozempic you now weigh slightly less than 400 pounds and are experiencing a new world of mobility, but let’s not be hasty with deregulating elevator requirements!

americans are much larger than Europeans, so this makes complete sense. I’m fine with zero elevator regulations, but only if we go back to having elevator operators. Same reason i feel better having a human pilot than an autopilot system

does it ever feel futile that your grand vision for the world is a 2 centimeter difference in the width of elevators.

If you want to reduce elevator regulations then you're just a bootlicker for Big Elevator!

yimbys want the poor and disabled to suffer and die, we get it

So much wealth is wasted on dumb green NGOs. It should be deployed at organizations like this.

And they get worse every year. Soon we will be required to accommodate those giant scooters

What is going on? Attacks on crazy expensive regulations? Keep going!!!

A LOT of American poors are fat diabetics. They will die more often if they live in tall affordable housing with elevators that can't accommodate whale stretchers. This might not be the cost savings you are looking for. Or is it?
