I don’t get why people keep saying this with such confidence.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of tall buildings in this country in areas with unstable soils along bodies of water. Some of them have been around for 50-70 years in places like Chicago and New Orleans with few issues.

The technology and building techniques needed to overcome the engineering challenges of these locations has existed for years.

Millennium Tower in SF and Surfside in Florida are rare exceptions.

I dunno man I’m just wondering aloud here? Plenty of buildings in the area but the larger ones on meadowlands parkway all look pretty dingy so a glass building doesn’t seem like it would be good, ya know?
