Exactly. All it's saying is that you can do whatever you want with your land, as long as you can afford to. It forces landowners to account for the opportunity costs they impose on society by not utilizing the land optimally, even if (

Europe resolves the fire issue in other ways. Regulations that limit the number of units per floor (4 for Germany, 8 for Austria), regulations for maximum distance to stairwell, and often building height. The building height one is signific

I don’t think the goal is to increase the apartment capacity of existing multi-stair buildings. Allowing single stair buildings facilitates multi family dwellings to be built on much smaller lots - even those that currently contain single f

I’ve lived and worked in very earthquake prone cities (Wellington, NZ). One of the reasons given to stay inside is that in certain areas of the city, shattered glass falling from sky scrapers would fill the street up to a meter deep along L

In the article, the architect spoke about how the goal of single stair buildings is to kill that hallway - one stairwell with the doors to each apartment on the stair itself, then narrower lots; similar to how it’s done in Europe. He points

I don't think the NZ bill of rights is applied the same way as other countries. > Section 4 specifically denies the Act any supremacy over other legislation. The section states that Courts looking at cases under the Act cannot impli

All that is true, but - we also don’t force farmers to internalize the externalities created by their industry. Southland farmers themselves are saying that if they had to comply with proposed water and soil quality regulations that they wo

First it's bridges, then it's roading, electric lines, gas lines, water lines, sewerage, civic buildings needing maintenance (schools, hospitals, community centers). There are endless projects that need money to maintain and the c

Meetup organizers tend to always be on the lookout for new speakers. Start with a 5 minute lightning talk and then offer to be a regular speaker on smaller topics until you are ready to take on a 15/30/45 minute talk. Some of the
