Tons of work to do, I agree.

The political will to do it, fund it properly just is not there.

Many want private entities to do it, many do not and that logjam has gotten in the way of a lot.

And there are teardowns. The Post Office has been damaged for politics, for example. Private entities want more of the business and do not want to compete with the PO. Or, they want the PO to work for them at a loss or as a subsidy.

There is a reluctance to make big public investments. There should not be.
