Most of the historic buildings that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wants to demolish under the guise of “emergency conditions” are actually structurally sound and could be renovated and reused.

“What looks alarming in photos represents localized repairable conditions rather than systemic structural failure,” according to a report by the infrastructure company AECOM that was obtained by the Post. “The core buildings remain viable for stabilization and future adaptive reuse.”
