"... and I don't want to pay for it." Our country in a nutshell. You'd think that a longer-lived species would have more of a thought for the future. ![]() Recently residents were evacuated from a Florida condominium complex that was found to be structurally unsound. Per the New York Times: "Residents of a South Florida condominium building were overcome with emotion ahead of the deadline to evacuate their homes on Tuesday, after a recent engineering inspection deemed the building structurally unsafe. The building, the Majestic Isle condominium, in North Bay Village and just north of Miami, is miles from where the Champlain Towers South partially collapsed nearly two years ago. That building’s failure was one of the worst in U.S. history, killing 98 people, and prompted South Florida residents to worry about the safety of their own buildings. " Meanwhile in other parts of the state: Condo Owners Continue Fight as Reform Bills Move Through Tallahassee "The fight from condo owners continues after a state law passed that increases the amount of money required in condo reserves. The law is aimed at preventing another Surfside collapse." These owners are basically arguing that they can't afford to live someplace that isn't falling to bits. It's not like they don't know what can happen - they SAW it happen in 2021. But apparently that is preferable to moving. The bad thing about condos (and HOAs, too) is that you become the legal and financial partner of folks like this. Doesn't seem like the smartest course of action. Comments are closed.
