seems like something that @chenoehart.bsky.social might have thought about before?

What examples are you thinking of that prioritize horizontal over vertical restriction? At the urban scale height restrictions certainly have a meaningful impact.

OTOH at the scale of interiors I can see how there’s a bias towards walking up to a chair as opposed to say climbing up to one, so to speak, and some of that could be a result of cultural conditioning. But there’s probably also practical incentives of cost/convenience/accessibility.
