Kids from crumbling schools will be moved
Kids are being sent home from crumbling school buildings after which some kind of temporary class space will be found… somewhere. The buildings will be inspected, dusty debris are mentioned, but nobody even whispers the dread word asbestos.

Infra-structurally speaking, how are we any better from, say, an Eastern Bloc city in the 80’s?

@Meezly – Check out 147 schools in the UK that are ‘crumbling’ due to being built with Reinforced Aerated Autoclaved Concrete (RAAC) – multiple hits – maybe a better comparison

That came to mind too @Tee Owe. And like the UK, we’ve suffered from decades of governments that have underinvested in public infrastructure.

Worse – that have made it a point of pride to underinvest in public infrastructure.
