There is a balance point when it comes to design and construction. How much money can we spend? The stronger a structure is, the more it costs. At some point, we'd find ourselves building structures that are so expensive that nobody could afford to buy them. The opposite end of the spectrum is cheap buildings that anyone could afford, but are completely destroyed by disasters. Good in the short term, fail in the long term.
Design and construction has to be somewhere in between. Structures that can survive a disaster, but will need repair afterward, which will come at a reasonable price.
