It's always a specific failure if the current broken system depends on it if you ask those that thinks they benefit from the broken system. The real trick here is to go a bit deeper and find out if this was just an "act of god" of if there was some kind of systematic policy that led to successive councils ignoring clear evidence of potential problems with one of their properties. And when it comes to social housing there is very systematic problem of willfull blindness when it comes to problems that might require investment to infrastructure used by people that are not paying a lot in taxes. The problems might be worse in the UK but are not all that unique as even Scandinavia and Germany have unsolved problems with some of their public housing estates. In a lot of ways the problem is that a lot of those building aren’t actually worth maintaining but cannot be replaced due to a preference for not allowing new social housing to be build.
