23. Steel is the most expensive building material there is.

You can pass building codes, and hire an army of armed code inspectors to prevent a single non-reinforced building from being put up again, but if the people are too poor to afford the steel, the result will simply be widespread homelessness. Requiring it is pointless if there is no money to buy it.
