They are not very capable of opening human-designed doors,so it may have
taken an opening crack to provide an escape route.

Florida Legislature has been collecting condo fees and allocating
money into general fund: report

A new report details how the state Legislature takes condo owners’
associations fees and sweeps them into a general fund.

In 2020, condominium owners associations, vacation timeshares, and
mobile home parks paid $13.7 million in fees, but legislators kept $5
million in the state’s general fund, according to The Daytona Beach
News-Journal.

The money was supposed to be used for various situations like training
condo associations about subjects like maintenance, investigating
complaints by condo owners, and teaching board members their
responsibilities as stewards of their buildings.

Instead, fees filled holes in the state budget, particularly during
times of economic downturn.

Since 2008, the state Legislature took $65 million, roughly 40% of the
$167 million raised by those associate fees, according to The
News-Journal.

The actions are coming to light after the June 24 collapse of the
Surfside condo in Miami-Dade County.

As questions arise regarding the responsibility a building’s
homeowners association board played in the disaster, experts believe
timely repairs could’ve made a difference in the collapse.

"I don’t know if it would have averted the collapse because we still
don’t know all the factors, but had they repaired the building
properly, it would have been stronger," Joel Figeuroa-Vallines, an
Orlando-based structural engineering consultant who is also a fellow
with the American Society of Civil Engineers, told The News-Journal.

Florida contains more than 1.5 million condo units, many built in the
‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.

The state has more condo units than any other in America.
