| 28. Wow, I was looking at moving into that building last year |
|
but decided to move across country instead. We lived in another building in Seattle a block below this one. Wow wow wow. I just had to wake my husband up from a dead sleep "OMG THAT BUILDING IN SEATTLE WE WANTED TO MOVE INTO...IT"S ROTTEN AND BEING TORN DOWN"
the poster above me is right with regards to the amount of buildings just thrown up in Belltown in the late 90's and early-mid 2000's. We lived in a Condo building as renters, but most of those around us in the building had bought...but what? It was an *apartment building*. cheaply built, cheap siding, cheap walls...no way I'd pay $465k for a 1bdrm with a view of the alley (going price for condos in that building with no view). Fuck that.
It really wouldn't surprise me if revelations like this popped up about more buildings. They were just up overnight...not literally, but really *really* quickly, and so many of them at once.....

So what would be the impact if unprocessed fly ash were also in cement? |
