I've never thought of worrying about crumbling modern buildings in the far future. I've lived in cities with very old multilevel structures and haven't given it one thought - until this thread. How would one check that? And are you suggesting single family homes are the only safe options?

Back on this topic, I'd be more worried about structural integrity of roads and bridges. I'd love to live in a castle, but it's not easy to move in.

Even Buckingham Palace is over 150 years old. Seems good enough for the good old Queen.

Heck, even good old Queen Emma has a summer place still in existence 150 years old.

Stone/brick construction and concrete construction are different animals it would seem

And there it is, folks. Another thread completely off-topic thanks to HBH's quest to keep HNL as it was in the 1970s.

Nobody wants to hear that.

And yet this completely dismisses your silly argument. This property will "vaporize" in 9 years yet just sold for over $600 a square foot!!!

This needs a separate thread of it's own, and you had best hurry, while any concrete reinforced condos are still standing.

From noteworthy traffic to concrete. Nice.
