In some places such as California the high buildings are built to withstand an earthquake. This is also why you find much higher buildings in Chicago than in New York City where earthquakes are not so much of a problem. Older buildings completed before the new standards are sometimes required to be retrofitted.

What gets to me is the schools in California that are built close to faults. Homes and other real estate, too.
