I don't like videos that tell you how to critically think, but I know not everyone will read the document below. However, I encourage you to read it for yourself.

This is what it looks like when a house is still desperately trying to hold itself together in some semblance of proper working order but is relying on a foundation that is no longer there. The house still looks alright on the surface, maybe a little warped and misshapen, some cracks here and there, doors that don't close anymore, but the really severe damage is underneath, and it's damage that can't be repaired. The foundation has collapsed. The systems the house is relying on to be there to allow it to do its own job aren't there anymore. It keeps trying to do its job anyway, but it cannot succeed. There is no hope for the house being salvaged. The house is gone. It may take 20 years for it to collapse completely, but there's no way you're ever going to really fix it. If we had the equipment we could lift it up, build a new foundation underneath and set it carefully back down and then patch up all the damage that was done, but that's going to be a lot of work, with no guarantee of success, no guarantee it will ever be as good as it once was, and I'm not sure we have the equipment we need to pull it off. Bulldozing it and starting over starts to look more and more appealing every day.
