Is the article that your link refrences. Yeah, i mean i agree with it those are not great mold/broken pipes. But it wasn't meant to be a 5 star resort either. I spent 2 years stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in a barracks that couldn't be torn down because it was a historical monument because it had bullet holes from ww2. Shit sucked. None of the barracks i lived in had security cameras back in 2010. We had a couple guys in duty that roamed the area. We didn't have heaters because we were stained in a area that didn't need them. I don't know what the current standards are.
Yeah that's fair. I admit I don't have first-hand experience, but I also wouldn't be surprised if things have degraded significantly in the past decade.
