Description: In this Wolff Responds, Prof. Wolff comments on the recent condominium building collapse in Miami. Housing, he argues, is a social responsibility and therefore decisions like construction, structural improvements and maintenance of residential buildings should be made by the society at large, instead of a small minority, like a coop board, as was the case with the Surfside condo.
