Yeah, I tend to think you get the skillset you fund. Since public money is used to grow a bunch of demolition companies, that's what you get, and when demolition is the biggest tool in your box, it's going to seem to always be the appropriate tool.
What would happen if we used government money to seed repurposers, refixers, rehabbers, engineering evaluators ... who knows?
One thing is certain, and that's that we haven't tried that at all.
