OP, you might be interested to learn that Hackney council are planning on building flats with "religious compliant features" in Stamford Hill.

They will include "lifts which do not require manual operation on Shabbat, open balconies to accommodate temporary enclosures during the religious holiday of Sukkot, and separate kitchens which can be easily adapted to kosher requirements."

Guardian link, of course.

I would be damned annoyed if I were a non jew on the top floor & had to wait for a lift to stop on every floor

Cool. I wonder how the lift will be operated?

The human race is well and truly doomed. Will the last man on earth please turn out the light. Unless you're Jewish of course.
