Fire is not the only danger that poses special risk of loss of life and property in high-rise condos.  Another one is swaying caused by earthquake or strong winds.  Tall buildings sway more than short ones.  Swaying can cause weakening and collapse of the structure, killing not only every resident of the building but also people nearby.  Therefore city council should pass a law forcing high-rise buildings and every apartment inside to be retrofitted with additional steel beams and fasteners to maintain structural integrity in earthquakes up to 8.0 Richter and hurricanes up to 150 MPH; compliance to be certified by licensed civil engineers.  

Dear reader, did you get my point?  This comment is a joke, to show the absurdity of forcing owners to retrofit to protect themselves and neighbors against extremely rare events.
