Built To Rot

They said it would last forever. Now it's a ruin — and your taxes paid for it.

Built to Rot digs into the most expensive failures ever built with public money: the stadium imploded after 25 years, the airport where no plane ever landed, the $6 billion nuclear plant that never powered a single home. Every one was funded by taxpayers. Every one was abandoned, demolished, or left to crumble in the weeds.

We trace where the money went, name the staggering numbers, and show you what's left standing.
