What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Westminster
Most Westminster homes predate 1980, and the area was still largely rural in 1933, so older shake damage is less of a concern than plain age. Condos on the boulevards may have factory-built units, and the report makes clear what it found. Mid-basin weather brings mornings of marine layer, moderate salt and warm, dry summers. Santa Ana season can strip a poorly fastened cap. So crowns, caps and joints get photographed, since slow wear is what shows here.
