Whilst the second solution would probably have ended up costing the residents of this particular building less it would certainly have cost the city as a whole a lot more
Very true... and are there no wheelchair bound engineers in NYC?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Yeah, it would cost the city a fortune to have someone at the city planner's office (or where ever) take phone calls from building managers who are explaining why the modification isn't needed in their specific building.The way of avoid it is to employ a tranche of buearacrats to check every single building in the city and determine if it need this modification.
Whilst the second solution would probably have ended up costing the residents of this particular building less it would certainly have cost the city as a whole a lot more (and slowed down the implementation of the law significantly).

By analogy the costs of crime-fighting could be cut dramatically by eliminating all forensic and detective departments - as all we need to do is ask the alleged criminals 'did you do it'?, surely they will all answer truthfully even when it is not in their own interest.Originally posted by Berzerker

But ADA is no joke. I worked in construction and it significanlty increases the cost of construction and of tenant improvements. In some cases in very strange ways. It's a noble goal. But as typical the costs were underestimated and poo-pooed.Comment
