This is a public safety issue, not an ideological battle over helping poor people, but it is also a concern about public funds being used to provide $400,000 "low-income" housing units which are not built to current codes and energy efficiency. If it falls, as it appears likely, we can only hope no one is injured or killed, and that the public won't be on the hook for the ensuing lawsuits, but we all know the bureaucrats responsible won't pay the cost of this disaster waiting to happen. They should at least lose their jobs for this supremely bad judgment. 
For $400,000 per housing unit a LOT nicer homes with separate lots could have been built, albeit perhaps not in downtown PT. What a waste, even if they don't end up a pile of rubble to be hauled to landfill. In a time when "the Big One" is increasingly likely we should be mandating earthquake-resistant housing, like Monolithic Domes, not creating more hazards such as this idiocy.
