The owner of the building, tweeted yesterday that he was saddened about his loss of his stuff, not a single word about the 9+ people that died in his death trap of a building. People were outraged against him, even a “friend” that responded that he told him about his safety issues his building had for many months and he ignored him.
The owner is a whack job who was more concerned over his “art” then the safety and death of the people who were in his building. I don’t think the locals are to blame, the owner is to blame 100% for what happened. Local authorities can only do so much and is a process. He was served with violation notices, he just did nothing to correct the problems.
Before he deletes it: "Confirmed. Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound... it's as if I have awoken from a dream filled with opulence and hope.... to be standing now in poverty of self worth."
I don’t think that’s the owner, but rather the founder of the artists commune.
