re: #216 Eventual Carrion

It has worked fairly well for Pittsburgh PA.

I think it’d work in Ostrava as well, but there’s going to be a lot of resistance to that. I can hear the rallying cry now; “We grew up here and this was the iron heart of Czechoslovakia and we don’t ever want it to change! We want it to stay the same forever!!”

It’s one of the reasons the Ostravice Textilia building still stands. The building itself is structurally unsound after a bungled reconstruction in the mid-1990s and frankly, it should be demolished because it’s unsafe. One of these days, it’s gonna come down by itself - and probably end up killing a lot of hapless passersby. But…..whenever the city proposes tearing it down, the idea is met with serious resistance from the citizenry, who simply don’t want to see that old landmark building go. And I get that, it’s a landmark building - but it’s a hazard and it needs to go.
