Oddly, this is already a solved problem.

NYC fire escapes are world famous. If every sub-10 floor building can have a 2nd window fire escape.... then you can have your cake and eat it too.

NYC stopped building fire escapes a long time ago. There are still tons of them, but all on older buildings.

It certainly would be interesting to see them make a comeback though.
