Agreed, that's why I'm referring to this incident (where I think there may have been ideological reasons to not enforce the code), and not to others all over the country.
I understand. I guess I'm saying it doesn't help our cause to speculate on that before it is known. It is possible, I suppose, but it's also possible that the fire inspector's office is underfunded, or incompetent, or corrupt. The first two possibilities might be traceable to liberalism, although the route to doing so will be somewhat circuitous and the other side will be able to obfuscate to such a point that the lesson is lost, and our side will be made to look like we're engaging in political opportunism. Which we object to when Liberals do it to us (remember "never let a crisis go to waste?).
The third possibility is a factor in many cities, and has little to do with ideology (although I will admit to a personal suspicion that cities run by conservatives are less corrupt than those run by liberals; however I can't prove it, so it's hardly worth expressing).
