No elevator? They're going to get ADA lawsuits before it even opens.

- bubblegumtycoon 8y ago<rant> Does anyone else think that ADA (American Disabilities Act) and some other lobbies are completely out of hand? Ever wonder why in your own house you need to have > 15" clearance in both sides of the toilet: ADA (see link below). Or why restaurant down the street was fined wholesome (or rather settled out of court) because some serial litigant filed an ADA lawsuit against them because doorway to their restroom didn't meet some ADA requirements. Does good of a few overcome that of many? Where do you draw the line? What may very well have started as an effort of best of intentions may have become a mindless lobbying monster that may have very well lost sight of what it really should be doing. I say - strike down ADA. And let's start from the beginning. </rant> https://www.buildings.com/article-details/articleid/9242/title/the-ada-compliant-restroom https://www.buildings.com/article-details/articleid/9242/tit... https://www.ada.gov/ https://www.ada.gov/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/04/10/serial-ada-lawsuit-filer-striking-bay-area/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/04/10/serial-ada-lawsuit-fi...
- ghaff 8y agoSingle-family homes, even new construction, do not need to be ADA compliant. http://nahbnow.com/2015/02/ada-and-fha-what-builders-need-to-know/ http://nahbnow.com/2015/02/ada-and-fha-what-builders-need-to... I'd suggest breaking a leg sometime and see what you think after you've been on crutches for a few months. Yes, every now and then there are results that seem out of line but, if compliance were something it was easy to avoid, every business would be a special snowflake that had some unique excuse for not complying.
