- Ninjaneered 5y agoI think properly reinforced concrete is an acceptable building structure for earthquake zones. My real point is that buildings should be designed for the area they are in. So zones that have earthquake, flood, hurricane, fire, etc. risk should be designed against the risk they face. You do see that to some extent, but it's glaringly lacking a lot of places.
