A very hard week for me at work but I did my best and hopefully all will be well. I wasn’t able to make the rescheduled state building code meeting to discuss allowing single stair construction at the fifth and sixth story. The proposal mirrored my fourth story proposal. Fire officials opposed I think out of a precautionary principle idea that we should make small careful moves. It proceeds to the board and may still be adopted. #Virginia #BuildingCode #FireSafety #Housing #shortage #VAPol

Happy to see Maine taking action on making new homes more affordable and accessible https://bsky.app/profile/stephenjacobsmith.com/post/3mbpdsk3rws2g #BuildingCode #housing #Maine #accessibility #ADA

I'm happy to see Congress considering national standards for safer and more affordable family housing. We local government people are doing our best to cobble this together but I agree that national action to support us makes sense. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/6345/text/ih #housing #USPolitics #SingleStair #BuildingCode #FireSafety #inflation

Very interested in this project. As we change building code to allow safer and more affordable family homes in more urban areas, we are finding that the old zoning does not make as much sense. #zoning #BuildingCode #design #SingleStair #housing https://bsky.app/profile/lanefab.com/post/3m7jcaexii22y
