Require buildings over a certain size to offer safe charging and storage to tenants who use eBikes or other things with lithium ion batteries

No thanks. That’s just another requirement that makes it harder to get RFP’s approved and drives up the cost of construction.

Yeah considering they still have parking minimums that take up like 20 times the space I'm sure all the developers will revolt at a bike room

I think both are overly restrictive. We need to make building housing easier, not harder.

I think bike rooms being default in new buildings is a good idea forward, I've seen new housing lottery luxury buildings with bike rooms completely full or require a wait list. They usually don't need much space either, I've seen some plenty simple ones that looked basically like a storage room with some racks installed in an otherwise unusable space

I don’t mind them in principal, just don’t love it as a requirement as it just provides another potential barrier to getting housing built.
