Netizens react to the video of the abandoned sports facility

Are we human beings at all?

@EvansDonkoh10 said:

Is it that the community members are not allowed to use it? This looks like it has never been used and no one cares about maintaining it. I believe we don't have people in charge of the facility but if there's someone or some persons then they need to be replaced.

The same people spent $200 mill on affordable housing, and not one family has been housed.
