re: Residents of Charleston's 2nd tallest building forced to evacuate over structural concerns
Posted by Chucktown_Badger on 6/12/25 at 5:12 pm
Sucks for the townhome owners around the base of the building. Their townhomes (which are also ugly) do not have the structural issues but are considered part of the development and they were also forced out. I think in part because they would be in danger should the tower come down.
You can see them in the lower part of this picture.

Not every high tide but every king tide it does. The new pumping station just up the road on Lockwood should help big time with that once it comes online.

Seems like they were sold a condo that is no longer structurally safe, which should fall on the owner of the building, no?
I'm would assume the condo association is the owner of the building and the individual unit owners have their little piece within it (studs in).

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. On one flight a few years ago I actually rang the call button because I was sitting over the wing and the flaps weren't extended while we were just about 3rd or 4th for departure. The flight attendant asked me something like "nervous flyer?" and I was thinking "no a-hole, I just know those things need to be out for us to take off, and they're not out"
It was the latest I'd seen them extended on a flight I was on.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that to stop the flow you need to remove the potential benefit.
- No state or federal handouts to illegals
- No jobs for illegals
- Under no circumstances will you be granted amnesty, and if you are caught and deported you go to the back of the line or aren't eligible for legal immigration for x years
The second you give them a path to citizenship or any benefits is the same moment you keep the flow of people looking to "jump the line" ahead of those attempting to immigrate here the right way (legally).

Yet you claim that the flaps would have been retracted (obviously) but not the landing gear.....
I'm claiming that every flight I've been on had the flaps retracted within the first minute or so after takeoff...when I was operating off the assumption it was airborne for ~5 minutes. Suggesting, of course, that it would've been possible for it to take off with the flaps extended but they had already been retracted.
In my last post, I believe responding to you, I acknowledged that it may have been in the air well less than five minutes, as "even 30 seconds in the air would be less than 5 minutes airborne". At no point did I comment on the landing gear.
We good now?

The landing gear was still down and the plane wasn't that high off the ground.
I don't disagree, I'm just saying that's what other information said. So maybe they were wrong. I guess being in the air for 30 seconds is still "being airborne for less than five minutes".

For the past two decades, Ward says elected officials have made it easier for out-of-state investors to afford homes, rather than homegrown people.
How, specifically, did they do that?
Also, why do people feel like they have a right to live somewhere in perpetuity with no change to the area or their COL, or move somewhere and do so for the price that they want to pay? That's not how the world works and a place being expensive to buy or rent doesn't mean something is broken.

Well the video kinda proves that....
Other information says it was five minutes after takeoff. Every flight I’ve ever been on has the flaps retracted well before that time.

In that video it looks like the flaps were not deployed. Maybe a stall on takeoff because of no flaps?
I thought it was impossible for new planes to take off without their flaps extended. Or at least if they tried alarms and shite would’ve been going off.

I wonder how many votes it would take to repair the building. Likely to be a stalemate and will result in a vacant building for some time.
All owners are currently paying their primary mortgages as well as paying for their secondary/current housing so I would think there's some motivation to get it figured out more quickly. Will be curious to see what a developer would buy it for considering they'd then have to put in the money to fix it or pay a ton to have it demolished.

Update 6/11:

I figured it would be expensive, but holy shite.
A number of places in there on the market for $145k to $550k.
quote:
Fixing the structural issues that forced Dockside condominium tower residents to evacuate could cost $151 million, the building's homeowner association now estimates.
quote:
The costly repair bill would be apportioned across all owners. That includes not only the tower's 112 condominiums, but also the surrounding 21 townhomes, which don't have the same structural deficiencies — an argument made in a lawsuit challenging the evacuation order.
Each owner's share of the bill is based on their ownership percentage of the building, which varies condo to condo. A larger apartment might bear more than 1 percent share, meaning that owner would pay more than $1.5 million for the repairs.
quote:
In some cases, the repairs could cost some owner three times what they paid for their home.

If the former residents decide not to save the harbor front property at 330 Concord Street, just south of Union Pier, they could vote to sell to a developer.
But all owners would have to agree to the sale.
