3. A nursing home roof is infrastructure?

Generally infrastructure is roads, bridges, sewerage, water lines, airports, utilities, etc.

This is a structure issue.

Not a big deal though. Just asking. I think grandma would be happy that you take her personal safety so seriously.

4. A friend of mine blew out a tire in a pothole the other day.

But it didn't make the news.
