Nice point. Still, in wast majority of cases, house keeps standing -> habitant survival chance goes up.

Cars being on the move, makes that distinction much much more relevant

For inhabitant survival a sifficient goal is something like “remains structurally intact for ~30 minutes after the end of the earthquake”. Which is significantly leas than is required for staying habitable

Makes sense.

I was fixating on the opposition of goals in the car (if car doesn’t bend/deform, then death risk increases).
