(And with that maintained, wood-frame houses can and have remained intact in my hometown for upwards of 200 years). </p><p>So I&rsquo;m not worried about maintenance issues or financial issues arising from those or governance issues arising from those. But like, the <i>institutional form of the condominium</i> is now aging past the usable life of a not actively maintained mid-20th century building, that&rsquo;s going to be a real issue starting now.</p>"}
