I want to believe he is going to do the right thing. But just cutting jobs and calling it eliminating red tape isn't going to work. We need to loosen the right regulations. We still need safe buildings.

Those aren't the type of regulations he means. The most he would go there (cause it's the most anyone proposes) is making elevators fit stretchers in slightly upright positions instead of fully extended, and allowing single loaded corridors, both like in Europe. Those changes are about as radical as he could possibly go on building codes and he will never go that far.
