Many old buildings have not been demolished yet because they do not have elevators. Many homeowners are considering installing elevators, but they cannot install them internally and can only install an external one. Although it is not very beautiful, practicality is important, especially for many elderly people living in high-rise buildings. Climbing three floors is still acceptable, but climbing five or six floors is really unbearable.

So many homeowners living on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are holding up their hands in favor of installing elevators. They are really afraid of climbing up the stairs, especially in summer when it is already hot and they sweat profusely every day going up and down the stairs.

Installing elevators in old buildings was originally a good thing, saving time going up and down stairs, especially when moving or carrying heavy objects, which was particularly effortless.

The first floor has an elevated level, which is equivalent to the second floor, so the sixth floor is equivalent to the seventh floor. If an external elevator is installed, a portion of the cost will be paid for each floor, and the higher the floor, the more money will be paid. It was reasonable, but the owners of the first and second floors said that they did not need an elevator for the lower floors and did not pay for the elevator installation. When they heard that they did not pay, the owners of the third floor and above were furious and felt that the owners of the first and second floors were unreasonable.

The two sides were deadlocked for two months, and finally agreed that the owners of the first and second floors would not have to pay for the installation of elevators. However, the owners of the first and second floors refused to install elevators on the grounds that they blocked the lighting in their rooms. They said that after installing elevators, their houses on the first and second floors could not be sold at a high price. The stalemate between the two sides resulted in the elevator installation holes that had already been dug being filled in.

Is it really not advantageous to install external elevators in old buildings for selling low rise houses?
