Everything can be in the plan. But the question is whether you want to take the risk. They can do all kinds of engineering assessment and predictions but at the end, the condo still sinks. It may not lean to either side but the walls and poles will crack over time. If you get a chance to see some of those condo (less than 5 years old) along Garden City and Katsura, some cracks are already visible on the first floor with the heaviest pressure. I know the whole Richmond is built on soft soil, but there are some particular area that should not be the locations for high apartments.

Buying a property is a gamble these days anyway but I won't want to be a part of that sinking problem.

Haha....so now it will still sink but evenly....

Yeah the edges of Richmond have really really soft soil - my engineering friend told me soil in the city center is actually not that bad. But places like Steveston and where the Oval is will be a lot softer just because the water next to it is still running into it.

WTF... how does water keep running into it?  Do you even know what you are talking about?

because the land is close to the river, the water flowing from the river constantly hits the soil on the side of the river, so it causes the soil to be "softer"...
hey i'm only the messenger, my friend told me about this.

MSN04

Your friend is wrong on this then

Uh-oh... I actually live around Katsura & Garden City.  Should I sell & move ?????

Does the river bring sand and sediments and then deposit them on the river side? If this is the case, then the land near the river should be getting stronger over time.

So many people worry about the soil of richmond but they still choose to live there becasue of the cheaper price and the Chinese environment.
