I signed up on your site. I agree with the intelligent or reasonable codes too. They will, as hotinhawaii alluded to, have to be quantified as some are in place because of past situations like natural disasters. BUT our natural disaster fall out may be incredibly different than say Haiti where their concrete standards were different or even non-existent. We also dont have the high live loads that places that have ft and ft of snow have. We dont need frost footings either.
Some of the other issues I see are the dual glaze windows although because of the IBC many manufactures have stopped making single glaze so it may be a non-issue simply because you wont be able to get single glaze eventually.
