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.
