Expo 62

I walk by the construction site for the Expo 62 condos every morning on my way to work and what I see upsets me for many reasons…
First: These condos are just contributing to the glut of overpriced housing going into the city at the moment.
Second: The owners decided to exploit the name of a significant part of Seattle history that has nothing to do with the building itself (aside from the proximity to the Seattle Center) for their own land-​mongering purposes.
Third: I’m no construction expert, but some of the construction practices going on at the site seem INCREDIBLY UNSAFE! For example, One corner apartment on the second floor had no support beam holding up the exterior corner for several weeks. Once the floor of the second level started to sag noticeably, they finally propped it up with a flimsy, adjustable jack and only later installed proper support. If I were in the condo market, I would be afraid that the building would collapse out from under me!
