If you owned a building, why should the government tell you that you have to obey building code standards? The government doesn't have a stake in the building. You paid for everything within the walls. Shouldn't you set the rules? Everyone inside, from the children to the adults, consent to being in that room. No one is forcing anybody to stay inside a second longer than he wishes. Nothing is preventing your visitors from leaving to find other buildings to congregate in. Nothing is stopping anyone from opening a code compliant building to cater to those who find building code violations offensive.
