I was just thinking about the student apartments I lived in. They were 2-storey with wooden staircases up to the second floor. They were built in 4-apartment units; so figure the left apartment is mirrored on the right, with a mirrored pair stacked on top. These were 50% wheelchair accessible, to make them 100% you’d have to install like 16 2-storey elevators. Again this is student housing, they had some deal where you had to prove enrollment in a college or university to take out a lease, and so they had pretty quick tenant turnover. So what you do is fill up the second floor first, keeping spots open on the ground floor for disabled students as much as practicable.
I kind of get it, in a tiny flat, making everything wheelchair accessible means objectively worse space usage for a non disabled person.
Solution is to just not buy it if you don’t like it though.
