Here's a story about a $5 hundo dollar house from 3 years ago that's an interesting read: https://www.buzzfeed.com/drewphilp/why-i-bought-a-house-in-detroit-for-500

I knew an old iron worker that worked on building them towers. He didn't like that back bone central structure design, didn't think it was sturdy. He wasn't particularly surprised that they fell or how. The design was a bit outside the norm or "innovative" Not sure it was because the buildings were so tall, I think it was to maximize an open floor plan and have more windows.

He died in part from all the asbestos he worked with. It was real common back in the day to spray all the steel with asbestos so it wouldn't melt/buckle in a fire. It's been long known that steel beams melting in a fire is a risk. Could be that the central structure of the towers made it more of a risk, or can account as to why they fell straight down.

At least that's my little conspiracy theory. It wasn't explosives planted, it was real estate developer's greed, which is far more common and plausible. Probably would have been fine if not for extraordinary circumstances.

Midwesterner here. Someone sleeping outside in my berg last night would have had a significant chance of death. Last week that chance would have been "more than likely" A couple years ago the papers were rife with what I like to call "drunkcicles" i.e. drunkards that became dead or dismembered from not making it back to their domiciles, like a college student that lost her hands and feet because she couldn't find her keys after too many shots or a guy that was "last seen at 2am" that was found under someone's porch in the spring when he started to smell. I'm not sure how the homeless here do it. Even in an RV, one marginally homeless family here died a couple winters ago from CO poisoning. I'm pretty certain there are more homeless deaths I don't hear about.

If I were homeless, there'd be something to be said for being in a climate where I didn't have to find someplace inside to stay for the night. If I were van dwelling, it'd be nice not to have to pay for the fuel to run the heater all night.
