We should require two stairs for single family housing as well. The elderly and disabled will also need to get furniture up stairs. Not to mention that the housing shortage forces more people to share a house with strangers.

>Not to mention that the housing shortage forces more people to share a house with strangers. Or, you could just build more housing... And stop insisting on so much living space while you're at it. Here in Tokyo, no one lives with strangers, even if they get minimum wage. They can still afford an apartment by themselves, though it'll be a very small apartment that's certainly illegal to build in America.

I agree. That was an attempt at reductio ad absurdum.

What are you on about? It does the exact opposite. I can’t believe I’m seeing this on HN.

What do you mean? This is a perfectly possible / valid theory, you're welcome to try poke at it if you're open to debate instead of dismissing me.

It's the broken window fallacy. There's literally a fallacy named after the very thing you're espousing.
