I worked for an engineering company a few years ago...One of the things I found out was that our entire public infrastructure in Baltimore and the surrounding areas is falling apart...Most of it was built before we were all born and the conditions will only get worse...There are entire sections of sewer on the east side of Baltimore that are crumbling...Both sanitary and storm water...
Sooner or later I believe we are going to get a catastrophic failure somewhere in the system....One that will take a very long time to mitigate, much less resolve...The sad part is, as we can see, there is hardly enough "public funds" to keep up with the breaks that are happening, much less to begin the process of replacing the infrastructure that is failing....
Sad, but true facts, maybe somehow we will all get lucky and I will be very wrong, recent events however, don't seem to help at all....
