@BlurryBits Granted most stuff installed in the #USA would just be flatout illegal in #Germany per #FireCode and #BuildingSafety ordinances.

@alfredtwu thanks for the article on housing laws changing in 2025

Is AB2243 height limit of 35 ft on narrower roads related to Fire Code, particularly Appendix D, which requires 26ft streets near tall unsprinklered buildings? Sprinklered depends upon local fire marshal.
Appendix D is not adopted in California, though many local jurisdictions adopt it.
Of course, new tall buildings are sprinklered, so it wouldn't matter if D were adopted.

My obsession with Fire Code and #VisionZero wants to know
