Is this wharf publicly maintained? Did woke or incompetence cause the collapse?

***********************************************

The City says that global warming caused the collapse. I am not kidding. A city spokesman made the claim and the local news aired the claim without any pushback.

Without a jetty or artificial reef, I don't know of any slender wooden wharf that could withstand a rogue wave of that magnitude. It would just lift the top deck off the posts. Even a container dock would likely be damaged.

It was a stochastic event. That's what insurance is for.

Another possibility is corruption.

Well, the end of the wharf, with three buildings, including s restaurant and a bathroom, were blocked off for renovation in a reported $4 million project. I don't see any evidence of incompetence, except for this collapse. Personally, even with high surf, I don't suspect it should have collapsed. I suspect a lawsuit is coming.

Not every act of incompetence is because of wokeness, but I have no idea what happened.

Both. Environmental groups sued to stop any improvements and repairs.
