Laws in Idaho, Colorado, and Texas are leading the charge, often with height and unit limits. But critics—firefighters and safety experts—warn that cutting safety features could endanger residents, especially in emergencies. Proponents counter that modern buildings with sprinklers and alarms can be just as safe, though fire departments argue a single stairwell can become a dangerous bottleneck. The debate over affordability versus safety is heating up as more states consider these changes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
