What makes the incentives in your proposal different? If the city is coming in and mandating repairs, then their authority comes from laws, which were passed by politicians, who can be voted out of office by condo owners.

Regulations are written in blood as they say. A firefighter had to recover the body of his 7 year old daughter out of the rubble pile. Hard to take the other side of the argument while this is occurring, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoMaybe! Really depends on the appetite of the Florida legislature and the governor. With DeSantis eyeing a 2024 presidential run, it could be feasible. Hard to say. Without state efforts, it’d be up to each local government.
