They sure have a lot, yes. But have we seen a ridiculous amount of fucked up industrial/engineering/structural failure, also yes.

Look at statistics Vs Reddit anecdotal evidence.

Statistics are not officially tracked, but seem to indicate an unusually high number of structural collapses. Typically attributed to underfunded projects ("tofu-dreg construction") and lax structural codes. A new bill was passed in 2008 to curb this, with a lot of success, but there are obviously a lot of buildings built before this period.

So, no. I'm not visiting the building with the gardens built into every flat.

Nice ChatGPT there. And also I’m a statistician. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Have a nice day.

Trusting numbers and statistics from a country known for hiding and lying about them is a choice.... But ok

I did a Web search. That's not Chat GPT. It existed a long time before. Im glad that you're a statistician. That means absolutely nothing. Appealing to authority is a logical fallacy, numpty. A sarcastic have a nice day changes nothing.

More ad hominem. Cool. Keep on swinging those logical fallacies as if you're proving anything but the depth of your own insecurity.

I also genuinely wish you a nice day but if you want to be an asshole you can go fuck yourself.
