Not UV light on banisters. HVAc systems that don't circulate contaminated air, or can clean it. When I think of apartment living--I could hear music from apartments 3 over, 2 up due to the ducts, or smell smoke from someone who was not a neighbor. They are going to have to look at ALL of the that for new construction. It's cute you think this will be over in a year or two, and we don't have to think about the "next time" though. Personally, anyone pushing density absolutely should be bringing this up.[/quote]

And by "density", you seem to mean "any housing type that isn't a detached single-family house with a big yard."[/quote]

I would hardly call the yards in the areas targeted by the Mayor "big" . By density I am referring to projects that will add high density to the existing mix of single family, duplexes, businesses and apartments.[/quote]

Because music or smoke from neighbors is not a problem for housing in the "existing mix"?[/quote]

I'm all for retrofitting. High density buildings should of course be looking at that. Why wouldn't they? All multi use institutions like schools and hospitals are looking closely at air supply right now; apartments should be as well. Any new apartments should not be built without careful attention to this, obviously.[/quote]

In other words, this isn't a "density" issue, it's an issue of construction standards.[/quote]

It's a side issue related to density. IF...THEN....
