Perhaps you can educate me, but I just do not see it.

Yes, if we had planned this from the start of the project.

Yes, if we had not needed to get a variance and then spend cash to fight
a legal battle with the neighbors just to be allowed to build our project.

after the building has been designed, after we've gotten bank financing,
after we've threaded all of these, to turn around and add an elevator to
our budget?  I don't see how we can do it.

I applaud you for creating a green, sustainable, fully ADA compliant
project.
