genesplicer posted:I've heard two things about this. First, that there seemed to be some rot or something, which caused some structural weakness. Second, (and this seem fairly ridiculous to me), the builder is now stating that the balconies are "merely decorative, and not meant to support the weight of a human." Would such balconies be legal wherever that is?

Naxuz posted:It could just as well be lower-class Finns, we have a ton of modernist housing projects that were especially dreary to live in from 1970's the 1990's. Whaddaya know, uprooting people from their homes and setting them up in remote tall buildings with little other infrastructure, services or social networks tends to be a horrible idea! Those Singaporean ones seem to be well-integrated into the adjoining community and peppered with human-scale shops and other stuff that tends to lessen the social impact of stuffing people in residential towers and letting them fend for themselves. Actually it was pretty nice apart from the actual buildings, which were very badly built by drunk Finnish socialists under the very bad supervision of drunk Finnish capitalists. Unless you lived in one of the ones where they put all the dreary people

joedevola posted:Apartment buildings in Korea all have names. The oddest I saw was probably "SPACEMOM" We have a quarter officially called Port Arthur. In a decidedly non-anglophone city about 9000 km away from Port Arthur, with no historical connection to Port Arthur, and no Chinese population to speak of (certainly not living in that quarter). Also the quarter isn't particularly near the port and there's no-one called Arthur of historical importance in the country and/or city. Things just get named is what I'm saying
