Please show me where I said affordability would not be impacted? I implied the exact opposite when I asked about your position on building codes. You are not reading my words, and as a result you are responding to arguments I'm not making and getting upset about things I am not saying.
It’s entirely possible I am just confused about what you think. I got the impression that you thought duplexes should be required to have elevators, and I’m saying that’s obviously bad enough for affordability that it’s obviously a bad idea to require that.
But if you don’t think that then we probably agree, since I think that building accessibility should be improved and that most of our existing accessibility rules make sense.
Edit: You said “If those duplex units are to be rented then yes, elevator.” I just don’t see how this is compatible with being concerned about affordability. If not enough units get built because it is illegal to build affordable units then that doesn’t help anybody.
