Reply to comment by Phage0070 in Eli5 why do stairwells need to be have two flights in a spiral to go up one floor when escalators can just use the one flight going straight up for the same distance? by exmxn

Side note, curved escalators can be made, but they're very expensive (I've never seen one outside of Las Vegas) and take up a huge amount of floor space in comparison
