The problem is that you can use base isolation only in isolated buildings. If you have other building sharing a blind wall, it is not feasible. In Athens, Greece that this is the case, we have a minimum of 10cm gap between buildings, to allow for some movement.

The cost isn't as much as it looks, but the things that make base isolation expensive are most in the engineering effort. And in the case of existing building, the retrofitting can cost a lot. But in buildings like hospitals is worth all the cost because the facility doesn't lose a second of availability. Here in Chile before the 2010 quake there was a hospital building with that system, the hospital of the Arny. And during that quake there was a surgery in progress and the doctors only noticed a small quake and a short loss of power until the generators started up. Only after the operation the doctors realised how extensive was the damage in the country.

The reporter has a common misconception of what is the magnitude. Magnitude does not affect structure of buildings, shaking, or intensity of shaking, does. Maximum intensity on the land was VII and only in rare spots, as an epicenter was far into the ocean. In Kobe in 1995 or Turkey this year magnitude was just around 7, but intensity was over X, as highest shaking was along the fault, where everything was destroyed. And X isn't just slightly higher than VII. It's a geometrical progression scale, where X is over 6 times as intense as VII.

Bad things have to happen before humans take action. This is where policies should come in and force safety precautions before disaster strikes. However when policies are also made by humans with no real sense of danger until after the fact, it falls apart, literally.

It's amazing how effective modern solutions like this are, but incredibly distressing to realize how resistant Americans, and especially American businesses, are to things costing more (or rather, margins going down) - to the point that any kind of change, improvement or re-tooling is immediately struck down before true costs are even evaluated. Take American appliances for example. Whirlpool has been building the same exact dryers for 61 years - no material change to any part of it. They put a different button panel on every few years, but to this day, you can get a flimsy, crappy, bottom-of-the-barrel design in a sleek black paint job for $1,100. Look at what asian brands offer for 40% less money and it's shocking. American culture is all about "but what about ME" or "what about MY cost" or "what about MY right to be wasteful with rsoucres and keep buying and doing the same outdated shit I've always done!"

Everyone there (who is an adult) has felt a strong one in their life, possibly more than one. In some parts of the country, there's a good chance they know someone who's died because of one. So in Japan, they take it seriously. It's only "too expensive" when you don't realize how huge of a threat it is. And in the PNW, they do not have this cultural knowledge of what a REAL earthquake will do. The Native Americans in the region had this knowledge. We ignored it and killed them. So instead, "We want to spend less and make more profit" wins out, instead of people rightfully being piss terrified of dying in a collapsing building. This is true at every level of government and every level of society in the PNW. Yes, modern earthquake codes are the law there. It's not taken seriously, and things like seismic hazard consultations are non-binding. Developers who want to build something are required to consult with a geologist who specializes in earthquake in tsunami hazards. So they go into the meeting room, lay out their plans, the geologist says "This is stupid and will get people killed." And the contractor packs up his things and leaves, saying, "Okay, now we've consulted." This is going to get a lot of people killed.
