HOW IN THE WORLD DID WE GET HERE?
By

So, I get a call a few weeks ago from a
reporter at The New York Times. He was doing a story about the
incredible number of condominiums in Miami and how fast they
were all built. How the entire skyline on the coast changed
dramatically in the past 40 years or so and if it’s possible
that The Champlain Towers in Miami was just a freak occurrence,
or something that we need to start thinking about regarding all
condominiums that were rushed through and given the green
light. Is it possible for other similarly situated buildings to
start falling down?
The story is somewhat startling but not
surprising. It’s a story about greed, out of control
construction, tampering with Mother Nature, little to no
inspections, rushed through permits, law firms and politicians
helping developers and The Florida Legislature turning a blind
eye towards all of it.
If you’re living in a building in Miami, this
is a must read. If you don’t live in Miami, but are concerned
about whether or not your building was built properly, it’s a
must read as well. Besides myself, there are politicians,
builders, developers and other experts that tell their side of
the story in detail. Some of it is shocking.
Because so many turned their backs years ago,
no wonder the story is called THE TICKING CLOCK OF MIAMI’S
CONDO EMPIRE. You should also know that coincidentally,
Robert Lisman, who is the resident from Champlain Towers East,
is the producer of our Condo Craze You Tube channel. It’s a
long article but again, it’s a must read. To read it, click
