Stuff liberals run - College dorms

I ran across this on youtube

I lived on the 22nd floor of this death trap the last year it was open as a dorm.

The story is 1 ) building opened in 1971, cost to build 3 million 2) After a fire in 1982 that almost killed a girl, it was decided that the building needed another stairwell. 3) during plans to put in the new stairwell, asbestos was found. cost to abate around 5 mill. 4) new stairwell put in at a cost of 16 million. 5) After stairwell was installed, the university decided the building no longer served a purpose so it was imploded in 1991.

All together it took 21 million to refurbish a 3 million dollar building just in time to blow it up.

Now that's "Progressive"!
