What could possibly go wrong?

Sleeping areas need more than one exit, I bet that isn't being strictly enforced.

It will be after the first conflagration...

“Sleeping areas need more than one exit, I bet that isn’t being strictly enforced.”

I was in a former warehouse in the middle of St. Pete which the city had designated an “art” area. The city encouraged “artists” to move in for free and set up shop. The huge area was divided into hundreds of tiny “art shops” divided from one another by sheets and blankets. It was a rabbit warren with an unbelievable number of ganged-together extension cords running hot plates and bare electric bulbs. I was appalled by the safety hazards. You could easily get lost as there were few straight corridors and the exits were not visible. It was obvious that several artists were living in their cubbies.

I can’t recall if it was that one or a similar one where a fire killed people. A lawsuit resulted but it’s been too long ago for me to remember the results. The thing is, the type of people who will inhabit the structure are not the type who are overly concerned with safety. You can expect a similar rabbit warren and ganged extension cords as however the power is distributed in the building now, that is not how it will be used by the new occupants.
