Just how ungodly unstable almost every towns infrastructure is. Water mains failing at alarming rates, massive sewer backups, people in charge of this shit have no idea what they're doing and the ones who do, won't spend the money until something catastrophic happens.
So it's not just the tech industry
Definitely not haha. I won't name the town sauce I don't wanna doxx myself or upset said town but, they had 39 main breaks last month just due to old failing mains and bad valves. You'd think maybe as you're turning those mains off and hit find that those valves are leaking, you'd wanna maybe note that so you can replace them later? Naaaah why do that? They mostly shut the main off. It's fiiiiiiiiiiiine.
