Would you feel comfortable living in a home or room that can only be reached by ladder, /int/? This is somewhat common in the "walled city" of Lahore, one of the densest residential areas in Asia, with well over 200,000 people living in an area of 256 hectares.

Usually, it happens when a second-floor room of a building is sub-divided with an interior wall, leaving one unit without a door. A new entrance is created, and a ladder is dropped down to the street to provide access.

You can see that the walled city is very dense, with some buildings "overlapping" each other due to construction practices. This creates a need for vertical entry for some units.

Many streets in the walled city are only 1.5 to 2m wide. Some are even narrower.

Ladder-access-only rooms used to be somewhat common in the western world until modern fire and building-codes were introduced in the early 1900's.

This is still done illegally today in certain places (such as China) in order to create more space by eliminating interior stairs.

I'm more concerned about the hygiene of those places than the ladder-only entrance.

Well it's probably not the same as a house but since My room is an attic technically I can only get access to it with a ladder.

The ladder itself is inconvenient, but the horrific third world infrastructure and zero hygiene poo in loos is what makes this place seem terrible.
