    This is actually a common thing. It’s usually cheaper to just scrap everything than replace/fix anything. Whole buildings demolished because "well we could fix this structural issue, but that’ll cost a lot of money so we’ll just rip down the whole thing.

      After a certain point there’s so much duct tape and random patches in things it’s good to just say forget it and rebuild, particularly if you already own the land to put it on.
