John or Matthew:
I am wondering if you could comment on the use of stairs as a primary access versus the provisions for “universal” or “barrier free” access to single family residences. I realize it is not generally a code requirement but one never knows if something will happen to them, a loved one, a friend, coworker, or guest. In most cases there is not enough space to provide a reasonable sloped access say 1:12 sloped access to single family residences. Given the aging population, is this something that is a good idea to design and plan for or better left as a retrofit should the need arise.
