Apparently there's a shortage of 1-bed property as an unforeseen
consequence of this benefit cap. So there are people suffering by living
in a surplus of 2-bed accommodation they can't afford to pay for.

Turning 20 of the 2-bed flats into a 1-bed plus stairwell will mean
everyone still has the bed they need, they will be better off, and the
building is safer. Win, win.

The purpose of a high rise is to accommated the largest number of people
on the smallest land area. If you're going to mess with that ratio by
removing rooms and adding stairwells, a re-think of the whole thing might
be better.

But two stairwells filled with killer smoke ain't going to help much
either.
