Jesus Christ. Talk about some next-level victim blaming. Were you in the HOA meetings? Do you know how the issues were presented? Do you know whether the severity was properly communicated?
High horses also collapse from time to time, so best not ride yours so proudly.
- Bishizel 5y agoIt isn’t exactly victim blaming when the HOA wouldn’t authorize the repairs (several articles looked into this). You can’t just go do the repairs without approval in these buildings.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoRight somebody has to approve to pay the bills
- II2II 5y agoPeople typically frown upon victim blaming in cases where there is a perpetrator. In the cases of buildings collapsing due to known structural faults that were not addressed or climate change due to known behaviours that were not addressed, the perpetrator and the victim can be one and the same. There are times when we have to acknowledge what is happening around us and take action or face the consequences.

- birdyrooster 5y agoVictims kill themselves due to negligence or lack of training all the time, it's not far fetched nor insensitive to understand reality. They built the building on sand right next to salt water and hurricanes, it wasn't like they built it in Minnesota. We should have expectations of people to consider the inherent risk of such an idea.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoWe have the same thing with some apartment owners. They didn't want to allocate a budget for repairs in the future.
- jacquesm 5y agoIt's just an analogy no need to get nasty.
