China citizens can’t even trust their elevators and escalators won’t kill them because maintenance is never done to keep them running properly and many have fallen to their deaths or been swallowed up by the mechanism running it. Bridges and buildings keep collapsing because of poor work and builders using the cheapest materials. Many products are made poorly…costing consumers tons of money to constantly replace them…they even put plastics and other harmful materials in their food to make money off customers. And if you don’t know all of this…you are really dumb.

It's not always necessary to go to bedrock and there are probably hundreds of highrises on friction piles that you never hear anything about because they don't have this problem. Shit happens.

      There are seemingly no more deep pockets left to go after. Much of the money that's been paid has gone to the questionable retrofit of the foundation. With residents are being assessed extra. While the land is valuable, the cost of demolition would be very high. Virtually no matter what happens, residents will be spending more money. The smart ones have sold their units for cheap to get out. Intentionally defaulting on one's mortgage may not work, since the lender may not assume ownership. It's a bad situation with few options.
