These government entities definitely tend to "kick the can down the road". Liberal Maryland was just as derelict as conservative Texas in this regard. The DC municipal government was probably the worst offender. Their municipal buildings were (1990s) disgusting.
Are you distinguishing between state and local property here? Municipal buildings are never nice, because they don't have as large a tax base as states.
