Luke Hopkin a local LDS resident in Cody, Wyoming May 15, 2025. Hopkin who os delighted about the temple says he’s “pro-religious
freedom” and likes to see religious structures being built
regardless of denomination.
Hopkin says he understands the nearby neighbors concerns, but
overall he’s received more positive feedback than negative.
Once the temple is built he plans to visit a few times a month, but
expects his wife will be there several times a week. Photo by Natalie Behring

This walkway is slightly more than one floor tile wide (12"), and is further reduced by the overhangs of both counters.
I'd estimate the narrowest part to be about 9-11" wide.
Probably the most fancy hotel in Whistler. Whistler has a strict building-code in terms of external facades; buildings are to blend into the natural environment.The lack of facade variation, makes it hard to tell up-scale from low-end. Maybe there's not even much of actual difference? Having mentioned the building-code, why not paint all builldings in camouflage-color?
I think the name of their company is a bit of a misnomer, there is no way that building can be up to code.
Proposed changes to the building code will expand the use of mass timber to build taller buildings and to make stronger communities.
These changes will allow buildings, such as schools, shopping centres and housing to be built faster, leading to a better environment and economy.

"... Under Australian Standard 3959, which was introduced by the State Government on March 11, the Manns' seven-hectare block of land is placed squarely in the "flame zone", the top bushfire attack level out of six possible categories.
The standard applies to houses built on inclines of up to 20 degrees, and the Manns' block of land is in parts steeper than this.
Their property, on a ridge line and across the road from a timber plantation, is also bordered by a block of forested land owned by a non-resident, the upkeep of which they have no control over.
On Black Saturday that block was thick with undergrowth and a build-up of fuel. ..."

Taiwan is particularly vulnerable in the face of natural disasters and Building codes represent an integral part of the strategy to improve Taiwan's preparedness

▏How Strict Building Codes Averted a Larger Disaster
On April 3, Taiwan was hit by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, the strongest one in 25 years. According to the latest reports, nine people have been killed, and at least 900 others have been injured by damaged buildings and landslides on the island. [The seism was centered off the eastern coast of Hualien County, severely damaging buildings, some leaning at severe angles]. However, [the Taiwan country’s strict building codes, developed in the past two decades in response to the area’s intense seismic activity], have prevented even more extensive damage and loss of life.
[Located along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a line of seismic faults that generate most of the world’s earthquakes], Taiwan is particularly vulnerable in the face of natural disasters. [The island’s mountainous landscape also contributes, as it can magnify the vibrations leading to landslides that endanger tunnels and highways].
Taiwan country’s earthquake preparedness has been continuously improved over the last few decades, in reaction to past events. Among the most devastating ones, in 1999, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake in central Taiwan killed nearly 2500 people, damaged over 50,000 buildings, and trapped thousands underneath the wreckage. [The 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan was established to preserve some of the remains of the earthquake and to serve as a public reminder].
▏How Can Cities Create Resilience in the Face of Natural Disasters
[Building codes represent an integral part of the strategy to improve Taiwan’s preparedness]. Two years ago, new codes were implemented, requiring owners of vulnerable buildings to implement structural reinforcements to boost safety even for illegal modifications and constructions, until a long-term solution can be implemented. The government also offers subsidies for checking the building’s resilience, [while strict regulations are imposed for both new and existing buildings, all contributing to creating resilience and protecting lives].
"Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world. The island has implemented strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.” - Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology for APnews”
While the magnitude of the earthquake is similar to those that hit Syria and Turkey in February 2023, or the September 2023 earthquake in Morocco, the scale of the devastations appears to have been significantly lower on the Asian island. [Experts assess that the relaxed building practices in Turkey and the reluctance to adapt the legislature to modern standards have contributed to the fragility of the built environment in the face of such natural disasters, but by Taiwan is particularly vulnerable in the face of natural disasters, and Building codes represent an integral part of the strategy to improve Taiwan’s preparedness].

Updates to the BC Building Code will benefit people in the building and housing sectors with the expanded use of mass timber in taller buildings, as well as schools, libraries and retail.
The Province is adopting building-code changes to permit the use of mass timber in buildings, such as schools, shopping centres and housing, so they can be built faster and more sustainably.

Although we built this shanty like a brick shithouse. 2 x 12 rafters with a 5/8th ply roof, and 2 x6 walls sheathed with 1/2 in. plywood! The building inspector wants hurricane ties on all the rafters... better safe than sorry... anyone ever see a brick shithouse blow away.... didn't think so :)
So, I was way up high in the Hyatt. In case of fire, you've got to put yourself behind the curtains, smash open the window, and ride the lifeline down. Different procedures and thankful there was no fire!
demolition of a building in Tennocho as one of the affected structures after several continuous earthquake
*probably it's time for a new building*
can't wait to see how the Japanese will rebuild this one with the latest earthquake-proof building codes :D

Elder Layne Beck and his wife Janet at the Historic Cody Mural and
Museum in Cody, Wyoming May 15, 2025. The Becks guide visitors though a museum that features
the LDS history in Wyoming. The museum is also a church and was
donated by Glenn Nielson, the grandfather of the man who donated
the land for the Cody Temple.
Mr. Beck mentioned that the community in Billings, Montana people
were opposed to a temple also built in a residential area, but when
the crime rates went down due to the 24 hour lighting, public
sentiment became more favorable. Photo by Natalie Behring
