Meh. Nothing a little crazy glue can't fix.

I worry about how pussified we are getting sometimes, I am by no means a dare devil living on the edge, but come on.

Yeah, it's most likely a case of pussification but when helicopter parents and such will sue or cause issues over the smallest detail, then companies/governments have to move to reduce their risk.

It is the world we live in now and and the pendulum is not going to swing back towards the 60/70's any time soon.

Back to the topic at hand, building is still condemned per the city meaning tenants are not allowed back in - business continuity insurance won't kick in because it's not an internal building problem and as such, tenants are really between a rock and a hard place. Probably a few lawsuits against the building owner will be forthcoming.

Damn.. that poor Audi. That sucks big time.

Who's insurance pays for that? The building's?

Eventually.

If you've got a SEF20 rider (Loss of Use) then you should get a rental for the time that your vehicle is out of commission or until such time that you get a replacement vehicle - question is how many people carry SEF20 on their polices?

Friend's office was immediately to the left of the hole - better airflow on that floor now.

Have they figured out what's actually causing this yet?

Probably doesn't matter any more - CoC has told building owner to remove wall brick by brick and then rebuild. Four parked vehicles will remain where they are until affected wall is down.

I guess that means its not a structural problem, just a crappy masonry job?

Why are people still parking there

Have you seen the cost of finding a parking spot downtown??? It's almost worth the (near certain) risk of getting bricked to have a prime spot like that.

Love how they closed ANOTHER lane on that street to make room for the temporary bike lane.
