Higher standards with respect to construction specifications, on-site inspections, and overall practice with respect to installation and design of foundations of structures should be taken account for. And everyone (including both designer and contractor) should be on the same page with respect to maintaining communication. The foundation's ability to keep a structure in place within its ground conditions is one of the most fundamental (and least glamorous) aspects of building design, and one can see what happens when one overlooks it. That apartment had one helluva sturdy frame, and at the end...it was all for not.

Lawrence, how can you say that? So everyone in the largest populated country in the world should all just just 'up sticks' and emigrate. To where? How easy would it be for you to move to another country if something similar happened near you? Lawrence says:
