It's not so much the buildings that make bad conditions - it's staffing levels.
I haven't seen your buildings, but here they were built to last and if you maintained them well and kept them clean they were better than the crappy cardboard buildings they put up now. Neglect is what made them bad - here at least.

Roopy, Mr Worm wants to know if your outback is good didgeridoo land? Lots of termites and all?
He makes and plays them over here but it's damned difficult to find a decent hollow stick in the motherland.
lot's of termites here - lots of hollow branches under trees in the bush - but i imagine you would find a lot of snakes in them. Not something i'd play with.

Oh, I agree and often these old buildings were built with good intention, lots of light open spaces and what have you.
I think we're probably going to be coming from the same direction but as well as levels of staffing I'd say it was also about investing in staff, as well as a whole heap of other stuff.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Interesting stuff from one of my favourite sources.

Why not shave that bit then? I can see how that would be irritating, you're basically wearing a Brillo pad on your neck.
