In an ideal world I can see this being a deterrent for an able bodied person from using an elevator meant to be used for maintenance workers, disabled persons, and people moving in/out, and that they'd get a code for free use. But we all know that's not the case.

We had those in the UK in the 50-60s and earlier, you would have to spend a penny for the public toilet. Which coined the term "I have to go spend a penny" as a polite way of saying you had to use the toilet
So, everyone seems against this. But, given that elevators are very expensive to maintain and repair, why shouldn't the users who use it the most pay more than those who don't? Catoblepas mentioned disability, so yes you could exempt those people. But for example in a high rise, those on a higher floor typically will have a higher market value than those on lower floors (or a higher rent, but similarly are likely to be relatively higher income). And people who are particularly heavy users will otherwise cause maintenance and repair costs to be spread over other people who aren't heavy users, and that's not really fair either.
America is not featured in this article.
America is becoming comedicly distopia with its pay to win.
Wtf
ugh. I think the scariest part of our dystopia is how as dystompic as it is at any point you find out a new dystopic thing (this is new for me). I mean even with the keyfob/card its recording every time you enter and leave.
Ethical Vandalism
I actually brought it up, and they said that people would just lose those too. Then they said that the only way going forwards was still an ios or android app. They said if it dies then it's my fault and that I'll just be locked out.
What the fuck are you talking about jesse
Sounds hellish, but a good way to get your steps in, if you have that ability.
You can also do NFC cards where you have the option to put them into your phone. The cards are super cheap, less than 50 cents per.
Holy crap, you're an expert on tenant rights in Georgia, Italy, and China? That's impressive!
Wow, an extra fee for the disabled to disproportionately pay.
Yes, you have a fee... But what about a second fee?
Easiest lawsuit ever, depending on the state
- Destroy the coin machine
- Have the landlord grumble and disable the elevator
- Sue landlord for breaking local & state building codes
Now do that with pay-to-use bathrooms.
My apartment building has app operated entrances, and I was completely reliant on someone else with a working phone to let me in multiple times. They said they got rid of standard fobs because of people apparently lose them often, but it have never once lost mine, yet I've had two phones kick the bucket on me, multiple times where my battery died, and a few times where it got softbricked after a failed update. Just this week I had the app reset itself after an overhaul, making me go through the setup process again while standing outside in a heatwave. Given that I'm especially heat sensitive, I'm surprised I didn't pass out.
As they fucking should.
The fuck?
Italy checks out. Their entire economy is based around creating problems that no other country has, and charging for solutions.
I really hope our boy Netanyahu strikes again in destroying these things.

They tried it in Naples.
