“The sky is falling!” Guy on the street who the couch almost hit.

Whoa did anyone else see that???
Dude in tower: Yes. Yes I did.

That must have been the most relieving thing ever if the camera guy managed to catch the guy on the ground and showed him the video and maybe even sent it to him to show his friends

It's reasonably affordable too! /S

They can’t afford any furniture and are literally looking for couches on the sidewalks.

I would want my 2 million dollar condos porch not to be stripped up by wind. I guess they can afford repairs, though

it’s amazing how shoddy the workmanship is on things these days.

Slate tile on top of pedestals is a common roof deck material. Allows the water to drain below.
Yesterday it reached gusts of 77mph right about there, so definitely not something the building was designed for.

u/black-kramer Mar 23 '23
75 mph gusts are unusual but not totally unforeseeable at height. these tiles should be cemented down, right? that's the part that seems shoddy to me.

u/D_Livs Mar 23 '23
I believe they are set and forget. They are removable for Maintenence. Perhaps it’s time to consider a different attachment method!

u/black-kramer Mar 23 '23
yeah. probably best to cement them and then break/re-tile when there are issues like any other application, but what do I know? I'm just some guy who doesn't think tiles should lift off of a patio and fall 10 stories.

Imagine finally venturing out after being a couch potato and seeing an entire sofa come falling down from the sky.

For real, if they’d stayed on the sidewalk that’d have seriously injured them

Me, a Californian: $7k for 900sqft in SF? That’s actually a good deal lol
ETA, since it doesn’t seem clear enough to many: I’m calling us Californians out on our own bullshit. We definitely have a distorted view of cost.

u/thegamenerd Mar 22 '23
$7k for 900 sqft?!?
What, is it currently on fire or something?
There's no way it can be that cheap.

You got two replies, and neither suggests they don't understand what you're doing.

I got a rude PM and the comment was downvoted in the beginning. Tides had turned since the edit, it seems, hence your confusion.

Me in rural Illinois barely living on $600 per month: damn rich people.

u/a_zan Mar 22 '23
I bet you live a much better life than we do in our expensive cities out here, too. At the end of the day, the cost of living eats up most of your income (most people go over that rule where housing should be 1/3 if your salary, for example)
I love life here and am ok with the sacrifices, but definitely see the drawbacks of living here vs in rural Illinois and other cheaper pleases.

Please adhere and grout those tiles down. Nobody likes to play surprise frisbee with a marble tile.

Couldn't imagine living in a place like that. Don't you feel like you're in a hotel the entire time?

u/Otto_the_Autopilot Mar 22 '23
It's a private living space that you can arrange and decorate as you please. I imagine the people living here feel at home like you do in your private living space. Not saying you personally wouldn't feel like you are in a hotel though.

Some poor tenant is going to go up to the roof to smoke only to realize the couch he put up there is gone.

Imagine walking down the street and out of no where getting fucked up by a flying couch.

u/paperfett Mar 22 '23
It seems a bit silly those raised tiles aren't secured at all. That's actually a really great design besides that. It would always drain out and stay clean. They should probably be secured somehow though.

u/NoWasabi3464 Mar 22 '23
I was waiting for someone to mention the tiles, like wheres the grout lol, these new buildings even pass code or was this actually insane weather ? You'd think the windows would blow out before tiles started lifting.

I hope that guy walking was high. Just a random ass couch falling out of the sky next to him.
