I wouldn't trust the building to be built to any sort of code other than, "we paid off the right people".

- davismwfl 7y agoWhile I agree to a certain extent, the same could be said about NYC, Chicago etc. Both NYC & Chicago have a long history of bribes and payoffs to city officials to look the other way on building code violations.

US and UK are now really decades behind the world on modern construction practices for apartment buildings. Just from that point alone, that building would score higher on safety.
- celticninja 7y agoI would still be concerned about low quality or inferior cheaper alternatives being used during construction. Combined with a much more lax approach to health and safety and higher levels of corruption.
