Yeah that's what I'm referring to, but I don't know if I'd go as far as 3rd world. I'm hoping by 2025 when this terminal opens, travelers aren't greeted by this gorgeous thing only to go into a boarded up city along roads/ train lines riddled in graffiti, homeless camps and garbage. A lot of efforts are being made in the volunteer, public and private sectors right now, and I really believe we'll clean things up, but we still have a ways to go after over a year of sliding.
