Does anyone feel like it's only the good sites shutting down while the crap ones somehow linger?

So that'll be 3 former-prison sites now just under the UCAP umbrella? Plus I think there's another one or two around the UK? Be interesting to know what it is about a prison that seems to make the locations less ripe for repurposing than any other plot of land or big old building that's often (briefly) used as a skirmish site. Would just cost mega bucks to demolish and turn in to flats perhaps, but they're not all in bad locations to say the least.


Would place heavy bets on old prisons being chockful of currently unexposed Asbestos - which makes them completely unviable for redevelopment, as removal/containment is astronomically expensive/time consuming.
