did japan's earthquake affect your thought on living in Richmond or high rise in general?

No .. not at all..

Richmond .. always high risk anyway ...

Knowing that the "Big One" is imminent (and in fact, overdue), and the fact that Richmond will at best be flooded, or at worst liquidfy, I have never had any interest in real estate in Richmond.

High rises themselves are not a problem, as long as they have been built according to construction code.

Aberdeen center is a favorite spot for many shoppers. If anything happens, just go up to the third floor. There is food at the food court for a few days. Parker place rooftop is also a good place.

    many new buildings with similar building code in chile were badly damaged as well

It's not just old buildings that are vulnerable, says Adebar. The way modern buildings are constructed in B.C.'s earthquake zones may also put us at a major risk.

Studying the effects of the 2009 Megaquake in Chile, Adebar found that many of the buildings that were most affected were newer apartment and office towers reinforced with thinner, six-inch concrete walls for support.

B.C. has nearly identical building codes. The thinner walls have become popular in both Chile and North America because they allow for additional parking in underground parkades -- where buildings need to be their strongest.

The results prompted him to call for urgent changes to the building code in British Columbia.

Just think about it yourself, if you are smart enough.

    你错啦，老友

高层死得更快啊， 高重底轻，或上下差不多重量更容易坍塌

wood frame 头轻底重而且木有有韧性没水泥甘容易倒
