Fire escapes are still a thing, right??
- crazygringo 3y agoFire escapes haven't been a thing in a long, long time. Not in new construction. Older buildings only.
- paulddraper 3y agoI guess I've lived in old, old buildings :/
- crazygringo 3y agoThey have their charm! Nothing quite like hanging out on a fire escape on a hot humid summer night with a cold beer and charming company. Along with the contortions involved climbing through the window in both directions...
- eru 3y agoGiven the size distribution of Americans these days, I wonder if many could even climb out to use the fire escapes?
- astura 3y agoSpecifically, they were banned in 1968 in New York City.
