The first couple episodes were intriguing and I’ll keep watching, but it’s really annoying that they don’t have an elevator? They’re always whining about how much they have to climb up and down.

In the books it's used to really amp up the social stratification - people generally don't leave their areas ever in their lives.

Yea the whole “we’re the bottom they’re the top” stuff has already played out, but I’m just not buying that someone built this futuristic thing and it only had stairs. Pffffft

LOL maybe they did it on purpose for said social stratification.
