VANCOUVER — Doorknobs are being phased out in Vancouver.
The new building bylaw, to come into effect in March 2014, bans doorknobs in new homes, favouring the more accessible door handle instead.
The ban not only applies to municipal buildings such as Vancouver City Hall, where most of the treasured art deco style doorknobs will be removed, but extends to all new homes built within city limits.
The bylaw is not retroactive, so if residents won’t have to get rid of doorknobs they already have in their homes.
Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs said residents who want doorknobs in their new homes cannot install them.
"No, I don’t think so. They would be asked to put in an accessible doorknob,” Meggs said. “If they were really adamant I suppose they could go back later and retrofit them.
"I mean, the rules are there for a good reason. They’ve been looked at by contractors. They’ve been looked at by people with disabilities.”
The bylaw also requires all faucets have lever handles and regulates the width of hallways inside of all new homes built.
All new homes and condos will also be required to have plug-ins for electric cars, whether the homeowners have an electric car or not. It’s part of Vancouver’s Greenest City 2020 initiative — a push to be the most environmentally friendly city in the world by 2020.
A previous Vancouver building bylaw already banned full-bowl toilets and traditional wood-burning fireplaces in new homes and condos.
Vancouver is the only municipality in B.C. that has the authority to create its own bylaws to regulate the design and construction of buildings.

They are easier to use, controlled by an on/off shutoff valve.
When released to the outdoor, they yield less CO and other particulate matter emissions.
Home does not get ashes, smoke, bark chips and other mean residues that it would in juxtaposition to wood fire.
The compartments are sealed combustion units. As such, there would be almost a 0 percent chance of toxic combustion gases leaked into the home; room air or local air (oxygen) in the home would not be used.

This post I saw on FB today: How I Gave My Son Autism
This woman blames ultrasounds, high-fructose corn syrup, various medications, a c-section, antibiotics, vaccines and fluoride.

I'm surprised she didn't blame hubby for impregnating her, and her parents for giving birth to her. :facepalm:

Yahoo article headline about a new game:
"Simulate the Black Friday experience with 'Waiting in Line 3D' "
The phrase "having too much time on their hands" now has an official game.

Of course we do.
Just because the mall folk are mostly what I generously call "white trash" don't mean we ain't sofistikated.
