And this has increased in the past twelve months noticeably more so than in the previous several years.

I’m putting my faith in the rigor of my building’s construction. The same is true when last week I rode an elevator to the 57th floor of a skyscraper downtown. Or this past weekend when I went underground and took the subway to see a friend.
