No I'm with you here.

This is one of those "nobody wants to touch it because they own it" kind of problems, we either leave it forever, or half-ass tear it down with no plan to follow up.

I don't like people who insist leaving them in place forever as a hole of infinite misery is the best option, as if they're defending some great moral principle of allowing people to wallow in hell for their own good.
