The Elevator Nobody Talks About
Day 4
Two elevators.
Fifteen floors.
Hundreds of residents.
Deliveries every hour.
Electric bikes.
Food apps.
People moving constantly because rent is $2400 for a one-bedroom.
Elevators break.
When they break:
Seniors are trapped.
Parents carry groceries upstairs.
Tension rises.
Repair costs rise.
Maintenance never ends.
Older elevators lasted decades.
New ones break frequently.
Is density being designed for reality?
Or for spreadsheets?
No one at public hearings asks: How many elevators per resident? What’s the repair budget? What’s the contingency plan?
Vertical living is mechanical living.
And mechanical systems fail.
