If the city makes it a law, is it fair for units on the lower floors like the 1st, 2nd or 3rd floor to pay the same as units on higher floors? Or are units below 75 feet exempt?   Some people choose lower units for more safety rather than a great view from higher up. So do the people on the higher floors benefit more with a sprinkler system? If it is the same, then the city can make it a law to have ALL homes (single story, two story, etc.) to have sprinkler systems installed for their safety. Of course it's better to have a sprinkler system installed but know that there may be some elderly people who can't afford another expense and also feel they'd rather take a chance due to their old age.
