Broken Windows Theory, Illustrated

On July 10th we posted photos of three broken windows at the Gail Borden Public Library.
Today I drove by and now there are SEVEN.




They never did replace the first three, proving the Broken Windows Theory has merit.

If you don't fix vandalized property promptly, the lack of respect grows and you have more broken windows.

On another note, none of the four broken windows at The Centre have been replaced either. What a black mark on our city.

UPDATE: The windows at The Centre were replaced sometime on or about September 2nd. Still no replacements at the library.

Update #2: Sometime between 9/13 and 9/18 the windows were finally replaced at the library. What a shame it took so long. Who would build a building with glass that takes two and a half months to replace? Answer: The government.
