That statement is ridiculous.
There are literally thousands of condos on the Florida Atlantic coast.
NONE of them have ever collapsed and killed hundreds of people.
The reasons are obvious...
Every condo unit is privately owned - most people who own things are consciously concerned about maintaining the value of what they own, limiting their personal liability, and - for owner occupied units - preserving their own lives.
Almost every condo unit is insured. What insurance company would write a condo unit policy if they thought the building might collapse?
Kudos to your faith in humanity. Let’s see what comes out now across the country about this issue.
