The resident in question was a woman. Yeah, meant to correct that but got distracted. But the developer is also aware of the problem and has a vested interest in ensuring that the condos they sell don't fall into the ground; I'm pretty sure that they won't sell condos that will fall into the ground. Like the developer of that tower downtown that's been slowly sinking since the day it was built, you mean? And seriously -- are you really saying we should take the recommendation of the condo developer of that of the USGS on matters like these? BTW "fall into the ground" is hyperbole of course. I think you're aware of the fact that all kinds of nasty things can happen to you if you're in caught in a large building during a liquefaction event, even if the whole building doesn't outright "fall into the ground." Either way, there just wasn't anything out of line with the observation that resident brought up.
