From CTV News (Bell Media):

"It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days."

Age is absolutely relevant. Old people have trouble with stairs. Rich 30 somethings aren't buying elevators for the thrill.

I had an elevator in my 4 story townhouse when I was 26. It was however really slow so I just ended up putting a keg of beer in it. Mobile beer!

How did it work, counterweight, hydraulic ram, chain pulley, or what?

Most kegs just pressurize the beer, and use that for the extraction... But some use a hand pump mechanism, or an external CO2 tank.
