Two tragedies ~ one in Philly the other in the Bronx. In both cases there was much talk about the serious housing shortage and how the infrastructure has been allowed to degenerate to the point where these houses are old, overused, and not up to today's health/safety codes. Not to get political, but all this proves we need to invest in our infrastructure, not in wasteful overseas wars that profit the military industrial complex while the nation's debt goes ever upwards.
