I understand that an outward opening door would not be a problem to people
who lived there, or who were knowledgeable about how the door worked. For
everyone else, people with groceries in their hands, new visitors, small
children who don't understand to get back, and people who might have to step
back and DOWN a step or five on the stoop just to swing the door open so
they could get in, an outward opening door is something that I can not
understand being installed in that configuration. That makes as much sense
as putting an INWARD opening door in a tiny closet so that you could not
open the door once you threw anything in there, nave no floor storage space,
couldn't open the door if anything fell off a shelf and blocked the door,
nor have access to any shelf behind the door. To me, an outward opening
door looks like it belongs on a crack house. They are just not "common",
and makes as much sense as installing shingles from the top down, leaving
the shingles to collect instead of repel water.


We'll put you down as one vote "against," then.
