Rent a rug doctor from Lowe’s, baw. If you can’t push it strap it to kitty and I’m sure some of the carpet will get cleaned.

Same here. He’s got haters rife with envy than me. I has sad.

FBD is an EO gravitational collapse. Pitt stop on the way to dinner on isle of palms. Life is good, baws.

The only thing I can think of that would be less comfortable to swim in than a shirt is a pair of jeans.

Heck no I don't wear one. 30 or 50 SPF though, yes.

Just had three F35s zoom over my place climbing at a pretty good pace. Faster than they usually come over.

Now when I see them I'm going to think there's some shite going down somewhere.

We'll be at the beach tomorrow and if I'm watching anything it'll be the US Open, but hello fellow Charleston baw :cheers:
I don't have the knowledge in this space that you clearly do, but my understanding is that their assessment is that the thing could potentially collapse when fully loaded with residents and their belongings.

Israel is also claiming they used their intelligence to trick some of the Iranian leaders into a meeting, and then bombed the meeting.


Israeli intelligence is next level :lol:

It’s not in the historic district, it’s1/3 the height, and it’s not potentially falling down so I’m not sure the relevance of the building I’m in.

Heck, there are a dozen larger, newish, nondescript apartment buildings at the base of the Ravenel that are much uglier. Not to mention, people bitch about the traffic here all the time. You know how you minimize traffic in a metro area? Live in or near the city center. It’s all tradeoffs.

quote:

I'm curious if any of the residents that bought within the last 20 years, were aware of a report in 2002, that said the building's foundation needed repair. The HOA told the residents that it would cost $6 million, they voted not to do the repairs. Been over 20 years wonder how many that voted no, then sold their units.


I think all of that would need to be included in the disclosures when selling/buying.

And I did read that this is the exact same situation as the Florida condo collapse.

That's the 2nd tallest building of a metro of 800,000?


Yes, the only one "taller" is a church.

quote:

Shreveport has half of that population and like 10 buildings taller than that.


There are intentionally no/few tall buildings.

quote:

The zoning requirements of Charleston discourage tall buildings, and folklore states that no building can be taller than the tallest church steeple, which is that of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church.[3][4] Therefore, Charleston has no skyscrapers by the modern definition, although the first building described as such was the eight-story People's Office Building, completed in 1911


I love it. It's all about preservation of the existing, old buildings, and a big part of it is maintaining all the awesome views. I'm actually curious how something like Dockside ever got built...but the city in 1978 was not what it is now. Someone's palms got greased, perhaps they thought it would bring residents and investment downtown...who knows.

how could you possibly relay on a agency just guessing if you a citizen or not


It feels like you keep ignoring the checks that happen and the orders that are being issued for illegals to GTFO. ICE isn't just grabbing brown skinned dudes speaking Spanish and throwing them on planes.

Would they not be better off if it collapsed?


I would actually prefer it as it would remove that blight from the view. And there's no way in hell a 20 story building would go up in its place.

They are entitled to due process.

quote:

Eventually, the Supreme Court extended these constitutional protections to all aliens within the United States, including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.3 The Court reasoned that aliens physically present in the United States, regardless of their legal status, are recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.4 Thus, the Court determined, [e]ven one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.5 Accordingly, notwithstanding Congress’s indisputably broad power to regulate immigration, fundamental due process requirements notably constrained that power with respect to aliens within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.6


But my understanding is that the majority that are being rounded up have already had their day in court and have been ordered out. They know who they're going to get. For the others, like the raids on meat processing plants, I would be curious to know the process being followed. I haven't seen any detail around it.
