>You're aware that this has affected Turkey and Syria, in Turkey affected 10 cities, basically erased half of them from the map, right?
Yup! And they squandered it.

Imagine if the money had been spent on seismic retrofitting so that fewer buildings would collapse during an earthquake? Los Angeles spent $1.3 billion to retrofit more than 8,000 of their most vulnerable buildings. With much lower cost of labour and a $30 billion pot, Turkey should have been able to retrofit far more buildings.
