Last president was unqualified. Didn't stop everyone from electing him. (and I'm not saying Obama had any strikes against him in the racist/sexist realm. That is very much separate. Just speaking to political/executive experience).
I'm simply not ready to say the sky is falling, yet. Want to make sure something happens? Tell everyone it's going to happen. Chances are, it will. If everyone would just chill and focus on what good can be done, I think we'd all be a lot better off, and not see some of the suspected actions take place.

Can I have some advice on what you think i should change about this structure? My team is struggling to reach designers to fund this project on kickstarter.
^ fund what? All your proposing is a simple building in impoverished Africa. I think the last thing they need there is a mother bunch of rich white dicks telling them what to do. Architecture does not solve social problems.
Want to help? Build toilets.

I've been away for a while, but i have to admit that I am absolutely shocked there's been no discussion, that i can see, of the Ghost Ship fire in Oakland. I see that as a failure at all levels of the local governments duty to protect its people, and another symptom of the housing crisis in that region. Sickening...

It was being investigated by the local government after complaints of being non compliant were received. I don't think it's a good example of the Bay Area housing issue. It was an artists collective. They would have been living there regardless.
SneakyPete
Dec 6, 16 11:48 am
The lease holder as well. This will dovetail with the other thread about the "disadvantages " to licensure I believe.
With the Berkeley balcony failure, the philly demo collapse, and this, perhaps an in depth article on liability and the standard of care would be in order.
curtkram
Dec 6, 16 1:20 pm
surely part of the negligence is on the people who chose to live there, knowing that it was never intended for habitation or that high of an occupancy count? with a balcony collapse, we know the balcony is not performing as expected. in this case, a warehouse does not have the same life safety requirements as an institutional or residential occupancy for a reason.
SneakyPete
Dec 6, 16 3:05 pm
Most people don't know that. You have years of experience explaining to people what zoning and building codes are and why they exist. This is why they exist. Blaming the people who went to a party because they expected that the building management was in compliance with regulations is uncalled for.

i spent about year and a half living in a similar place just outside downtown detroit, crazy times.
My sister and a bunch of her friends got roughed up and had cars impounded by the detroit police for attending an illegal party at a museum. Awesome situation, police decided that there were illegal drugs at the party and impounded every car in the vicinity, ACLU ended up suing

if you step onto a balcony, it is certainly reasonable to assume the balcony is going to stand up.
this wasn't just a warehouse party, there were people who lived there, who obviously knew there was a difference between this place and a hotel or an apartment. if people were there only attending a party, they knew there was something different between this place and a normal, legal club. a similar analogy would be someone who swims with sharks in the ocean because they look safe at sea world.
we should protect our neighbors and our communities as well as we can, but there is a point where just have to stop babysitting every individual. people make bad choices. let them take responsibility for those choices.

I think the real issue here was the lack of code enforcement by the city, they may have been investigating, we don't know how often and recent complaints were, but it sounds like it was only a matter of time before a failure there would put people's lives in danger. The real responsibility here lies with code officials, and the building's manager/owner...
