    China probably has more high-rise buildings than your country has low-rise buildings… Are you surprised?

      I live in Canada… so yes you are probably right based just on population alone.

      I’m not surprised, I would say disappointed though.

      Alright ya know that is a really fair point. I’m sure regulation and code enforcement has a role to play here but keeping in mind they probably have twice the amount of high rise structures compared to anyone is a pretty big factor.
