Reply to comment by Vegetable_Macaroon32 in Should Virginia help pay to rebuild Fox Elementary? What happens if lawmakers say 'no'? by CrassostreaVirginica

The love for Fox, the building, has always seemed crazy to me. It was a building. Yes, it sucks that it burnt down - but I've never understood the desire to salvage what is left of it if you could build a brand new, state of the art building for cheaper.

I get it a little bit. Modern schools look more like prisons then a place you would take pride in.

Then pay a little more to engage an architect and get community involvement or something. I just don't get the need to have exactly what was there back again. It's just a building.

I think the local community is involved and they want it to look like the old fox.

I find it difficult to believe that it wouldn't be cheaper to knock the remains down and build back the exact same school, then.
