I would love to. I think some of them look great, and seem like low maintenance fun.

A small part of me, as a child, wished to grow up in Southern California. Preferably with chain link fencing and a mid century vibe. One of those downmarket communal pools with the lights on at night. Block parties. Riding my bike through all the endless sun and pollution.

This would be fun for a kid - hanging out there, breathing in marijuana and exhaust fumes, growing up knowing English and Spanish, ignoring the operating hours that've been posted in hope by the poolside.

The columns used to hold up dingbat-style and soft-story buildings have been identified as vulnerable to collapse during earthquakes

Well that's just LA. Apparently they can be retrofitted with steel supports. Those limited few that have collapsed seem to do so in one otherwise intact piece, so if you were in bed you might only get a little jolt and realize your car had been crushed.
