Title: Jay Shafer: Proposal to amend IRC Code Restricting House Size
Post by: RainDog on March 03, 2010, 05:03:01 PM

"Protecting public health, safety and general welfare is the stated purpose of The International Residential Code that shapes much of America's built environment. By prohibiting the construction of small homes, these regulations clearly circumvent their own alleged goal. Amendments to the codes must be made so that our built environment can provide more safety and a higher quality of life. The proposed amendments listed here are based on safety standards and anthropometric data developed by The American National Standard Institute."

While they're at it, how about deleting the fire sprinkler mandate
