Not to be insensitive but the fire at Notre Dame may not have caused such extensive damage if it was sprinkled. There are ways to maintain aesthetics and "hide" protective systems. Water damage sucks yes but you still have a building at the end of the day.

That is a great point. I see a lot of romanticizing about past architecture but the life safety code can impact design decisions which may strip beauty away.

It has been my observation that bitcoiners are stereotypically against big government. We yearn for the beautiful architecture from past ages and the lasting structures build on sound money. 
But in this new transition where do we land on enforcememt of building codes & life safety? I may be jaded as a fire sprinkler designer and fire alarm technician but I took pride in the systems I designed/installed are meant to protect human life and property. 
Will bitcoiners continue to follow these codes and standards as nation states evolve?
