Shot this past my structural engineer buddy. He says the reason all the engineers are old / close to retirement is that it won’t follow them to the next job, so basically no one is accountable, they’ll all be dead before that happens. As well, it will in the end be on the City to dismantle when the building is abandoned, the only true viable solution.
