But hey, when conservatives virtue signal, y'all cheer it on.

Will you make the same argument against the single staircase apartment building code change? It will have adverse safety compared to the existing policy won't it?
Or will you accept that sometimes we have to accept a little bit of deregulation to reduce building costs?
I'm generally supportive of this. My understanding is that gas heating is generally much cheaper to install than electric heating including heat pumps, and the running costs aren't really that much better for even the best heat pumps. During the winter months when people want heating, we're buying electricity from Alberta and Washington state anyway and they're not exactly known for green electricity production.
