i hope people realize that hard wire runs from electricity. if there is an electrical problem, oops.
battery operated or not bad as long as the house manager makes sure are replaced.
wouldn't we all love to have sprinkler systems installed, but guess what, it is cost prohibitave in older houses. many will go broke or be out of their houses.
the problems in these economic times, i don't know if parents will donate any money for frivilous things like glos houseing. just a thought.

Were you aware that 'hard wiring' is actually referring to electricity? It comes from the walls! OMG!

Yes, an electrical problem, like a fire.

College students can totally be trusted to not remove batteries from smoke detectors. I mean it's not like there are no-smoking signs on bathrooms across the country, and flight attendants never warn you about tampering with them on a plane!

Guess what! Major safety changes can be expensive! It's far better that people die in a fire, like a fraternity brother did in my hometown than people have to leave unsafe houses!

 Welcome back! This wasn't short on humor at all!
Thanks for the clarification. I can always count on your translation skills!

You might want to take a Berlitz course and work on your English.
I have these same smoke detectors in my home. They are hard wired and have a battery. It is a double back up system and saves me money on my insurance. If a capital campaign is started it is imperative that the costs of safety and accessibility be included.
I'd rather have no house than a house people die in for the sake of having a house or to cite money. No person's life is worth losing, a house is replaceable, people are not.
