In
inner
cities,
some
buildings
are
beautiful
and
clean,
while
others
are
rotting
hulks.
Why?
Researchers
in
the
field
of
crime
and
urban
decay
discovered
a
fascinating
trigger
mechanism,
one
that
very
quickly
turns
a
clean,
intact,
inhabited
building
into
a
smashed
and
abandoned
derelict.
A
broken
window.
One
broken
window,
left
unrepaired
for
any
substantial
length
of
time,
instills
in
the
inhabitants
of
the
building
a
sense
of
abandonment
-
a
sense
that
the
powers
that
be
don't
care
about
the
building.
So
another
window
gets
broken.
People
start
littering.
Graffiti
appears.
Serious
structural
damage
begins.
In
a
relatively
short
span
of
time,
the
building
becomes
damaged
beyond
the
owner's
desire
to
fix
it,
and
the
sense
of
abandonment
becomes
reality.
The replay is still saving.
