Some study in UK way back when showed people who had to walk up stairs to their residences lived longer. And if no elevator service to first three residential floors of new condo buildings those condos would be more affordable -- market price<br />would be lower than elevator serviced units and monthly fees would be lower than for elevator serviced units. (Full disclosure: I live on 3rd floor of 1975 building, elevator shaft in building but elevator never put in.)Jon Petrienoreply@blogger.com
