Most of those "bedrooms" are illegal since they don't have proper
egress. The "window well" in a basement does not provide enough clear
space to call that an egress so you need a door to the outside in the
bedroom(s)..

What's wrong with going through the door you entered? My normal bedroom
has a window, but it's only the top bit that opens, so I can't leave
through it without violently smashing toughened double glazing with a
heavy object I don't have in the bedroom. But then I'm not a pessimist
and don't require two forms of exit.


The people that write the building code are pessimists. If the fire is
right outside your bedroom you need a second way out.

Which people don't have in non-basements anyway, as most fit burglar proof windows you can't fit through.


I don't know what kind of hellhole you live in, but we've just got ordinary
double-hung glass windows. Mine are only double-pane, but I don't consider
my house is very expensive to heat so there's no incentive to replace them
with more energy-efficient windows.

He likely lives in Carntyne West or HagHill or?North Barlanark and
Easterhouse South, or Old Shettleston and Parkhead North in Glasgow,
the most crime-ridden city in Scotland - or perhaps Edinburgh or
Aberdeen.Or perhaps even Ferguslie Park, Paisley
Glasgow is also among the poorest cities in the UK (Only Hackney and
Tower districts of London rank poorer), with the lowest average
education level.

A tent has only one door. Maybe he lives on the street?

I have two doors, although I know of neighbours with only one door on the side of the house. You'd think that would fail some regulation or other.

They have a rule that dwellings need 2 doors but I have seen them side
by side.
In my Maryland house, if you had a kitchen fire, you would need to go
through the fire to get to the back door and right by it to get to the
front door. That is why I put in the sprinklers in the hall and foyer.
I had planned to put a door in the bedroom after I put on the deck out
back but I moved away before I got to it.
