Echoes of Sept. 11 lead Miami businessman to host condo collapse families

SURFSIDE, Fla. (Reuters) - When Miami-based businessman Andreas King-Geovanis heard that a condominium building in nearby Surfside had collapsed, he knew from experience the disaster would lead to displacement.
The 31-year-old New York native, who runs a vacation rental property company, was still a child living with his family near the World Trade Center when it was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001.
After news of the disaster at Champlain Towers South on June 24, King-Geovanis called his 165 staff members to a meeting to say his firm, Sextant Stays, would offer a month of rent-free housing to survivors and families of the people who are still missing.

But no, heâs doing the rounds, still urging Labor to âwake up to itselfâ, back fossil fuels and ignore the need for a transition plan. Letâs not forget this is a seat Labor has never won. The eight-point fall in its primary vote appears to have come mainly from the loss of progressive voters, who moved to the independent Kirsty OâConnell, the only candidate advocating a move away from coal.
