Design Issues
As the greater Vancouver area has not experienced a substantial earthquake (M ~6.5+) in the past 100 years, it is unclear how durable the Vancouver Special is to Seattle or San Francisco like earthquake land and soil movements. As there is a lot of built in modularity in this kind of housing design, it is assumed that relativity inexpensive earthquake remediation measures could be taken to increase this kind of housing architecture's ability to withstand earth movement without disentagration.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or issues:
“What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
