Everyone needs to read this critique of newly legalized single stairway mid-rise buildings by Peters, who has policy expertise and lived experience.
The latest YIMBY demand is to reduce required number of emergency exits in mid-rise apt buildings - down to one. Feds are reviewing - fire chiefs & fire depts opposed - right before calling election BC Govt made it policy. I wrote a 2-part post. Part 1. open.substack.com/pub/mssineno...
