The best part of all of that is the really yummy present that's in everything built in that time. My friend and yours, asbestos. Not only do you have to destroy and rebuild but you also have to do so in a way that doesn't poison everyone for decades
Asbestos, lead, all kinds of crazy carcinogens from the past (and present!). That just further strengthens the argument that the workers who undertake this gargantuan task must be unionized with fellow workers leading it. When it's you breathing in flakes of fiberglass and aerosolized rat shit, suddenly mandating the usage (or at the absolute least: availability) of properly fitted respirators suddenly becomes an actual issue of importance not just rhetorical statement to gain popularity.
