In Reply to: RE: Do you think 'someone' is responsible for factory fire tragedy. Or each individual should have paid attention? posted by Smelly_Socks on December 06, 2016 at 15:26:23
whether to risk living in such places, owning them, managing them or monitoring them.If you want to risk living in such a haphazard environment (for whatever reason(s) (the main
one is usually cited as financial but I think it is more a cultural draw that supersedes the $ one)
then go for it.But do you want to chance dying for your art?
The management was breaking the law, the owners were breaking the law,
the tenants were breaking the law.The law(s) are there to help protect the type of folks the City of Oakland failed.
And the City of Oakland has a pretty good track record of failing its citizens.What's surprising is that these tragedies don't happen more frequently.
I'm not a fan of Big Brother, but the rules in place (and well paid for by us all) are there for a good reason and should
be adhered to for the safety of those that need that net.

but in this case, in a city, where fire could impact others living close-by this was the definition of irresponsibility of everyone involved.
That is where government SHOULD step in. Now suing government is as stupid as thinking companies pay income taxes - it doesn't do any good - it is the regular folk who do the paying in both cases.
But the guy who sublet these spaces should be held accountable. But he has nothing so that is a waste of time.
Anyone who would move into such a hovel and pay six hundred dollars per month is beyond help. There are daredevils in this world and you cannot stop them. Imagine a stack of pallets as a staircase. Insanity.
The city should have kicked them out and they should have moved to the country but then they would probably start the woods on fire and that is a big deal in California. Lots of fuel in them woods ...
So I guess the best thing to do would be to kill them.

Many of them didn't live there but just showed up for the party upstairs.
