That's not really a reason. Romania has an active epicenter of earthquakes and the houses are not demolished/rebuilt that often. When designing and constructing buildings, there are also just some seismic requirements, that's all. There isn't any planned obsolescence involved and I haven't heard of much earthquake damage since 1977.
- ggreer 13y agoIn the past ten years, Japan has had 21 earthquakes of magnitude 6.5 or greater. In the past 100 years, Romania has had 5.
- andrewcooke 13y agochile doesn't demolish houses like this either. i don't know where you're getting 6.5 mag data, but for 8+ we're very similar to japan - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/mag8/magnitude8_1900_date.php http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/mag8/...
