totally good points. sure would be nice if ONCE liberals are held to account for running counties and cities (and states and nations) right the hell into the ground.
In some states a home owner can walk away from a mortgage and the lender has no recourse to collect from the borrower.
This happened a lot int the State of Washington during the real estate bubble burst. Many of those who stopped paying their mortgages were asked by the lenders to just pay the utilities and property taxes in exchange for taking care of the property.
Then it appears that everyone was acting in good faith to fix the issue.
I am working on a building that has almost two decades of deferred maintenance. I’ve blown the budget every year by over $150K just getting things repaired. I need $6M more.
You read that right. Six million.
It also depends on how long the building manager was on property and what prior boards did/did not do. The person before me didn’t have a clue.
The explosive residue - if any - is at least 12 layers BELOW the rubble that is currently being cleared away.
The only way a concrete deck building can collapse straight down is if the primary support columns all fail at exactly the same moment.
Are there alternative explanations? I will certainly listen if there are.
At the moment, however, the only explanation that makes sense to me is a deliberate act of terrorism.
Does the report say if you don’t do x, y and z by so and so date that the building may collapses on itself?!?
This was MUCH faster than I expected:

Wow, unbelievable
It begins: WaPo runs interference for Cava with a BIG LIE as she desperately tries to credit Biden.
I’m with you. This is suspicious. The very fact that none of the people in charge want to even consider terrorism in some capacity makes it even more suspicious.
This past year or so should make every single one of us question the narrative/explanations we are told.
Meanwhile, this part of Florida is very corrosive to everything.
Management in a condominium can only do what the Board authorizes them to do. Managers do not control the purse strings.
Further, the management fee covers staff time, accounting, etc. It does not cover massive infrastructure repairs.
Something is not right here.
I use MSN.com as my home page and news page.
EVERY collapse news story they link to is about alleged structural issues. Photos of routine concrete issues under the pool are treated like a smoking gun for mass murder.
I have learned two new things in the last day...
The building did have salt water intrusion issues in the early 2000s that may have continued until the present day.
That would be unusual and could cause major damage or indicate foundation or bedrock issues.
Also, the night of the collapse, I pulled up a Google aerial photo of the building. The intact building had a really odd shape.
Yesterday, a civil engineer stated that the building was asymmetrical - i.e., not square or rectangular - and that if one part of an asymmetrical structure fails, it can be very hard to predict what happens to the rest of the building.
In any event, I always come back to the same question...
How do you pancake a 12 story concrete deck building unless all the primary support columns fail at the same moment?
That statement is ridiculous.
There are literally thousands of condos on the Florida Atlantic coast.
NONE of them have ever collapsed and killed hundreds of people.
The reasons are obvious...
Every condo unit is privately owned - most people who own things are consciously concerned about maintaining the value of what they own, limiting their personal liability, and - for owner occupied units - preserving their own lives.
Almost every condo unit is insured. What insurance company would write a condo unit policy if they thought the building might collapse?
Kudos to your faith in humanity. Let’s see what comes out now across the country about this issue.
