Chicago's unions have successfully fought for years to forbid PVC piping, on the grounds that it would cause nasty fumes in case of a fire. Because there is no other plastic in the average Chicago building . . .
Hey, isn't that a feature, not a bug. At least the burning/melting plastic piping would release the water onto the fire, unlike copper.
