Look south (none / 0) (#17)

NYC has approximately 4 million housing units covered by the NYC law requiring window guards. The compliance rate is good enough to be effective. The statistics that I cited earlier are testament to the fact that the regulation works. Also note that thousands of children are not perishing in fires due to the safety devices.

I don't think that code inspections every time an apartment turns over is feasible either, but between the existing inspections, the demands of parents and punitive measures taken against landlords who do not comply, my guess is that an ordinance would be effective.

Your position defies all logic and reason on this one, al, so I guess we'll need to disagree.
