Why are homes built in Torando Alley without shelters?

Money.

Sheltered homes cost more to build. That leaves large groups of population with almost enough money to buy a home — money that homebuilders don’t want left on the table. So they build them without shelters. They beat the codes by using “trailer park” codes, which require a common access shelter within a certain distance.

So when the sirens go off (if they do and if you hear them) you’re to run a handful of blocks through the street, in the high wind and pounding rain.

yeah.
