Hard to overstate how big of news this is. Now it's time for both Portland and the state of Oregon to change their codes to the IBC standard and allow construction of new single-stair multifamily housing buildings at least to four stories. Sunlight suites for all!

The councilors who are elected in November will be voting on Inner Eastside for All. It is imperative that we pass the strongest possible version to open up our amazing inner neighborhoods to current and future neighbors of all ages, wages and stages of life!

My friend’s dad fell down stairs at his apartment building a few years ago and it had a dramatic impact on his health. My grandparents were just in a car accident because their senior community is in the middle of nowhere. Elevator reform is the answer to preventing all of this.
