The 15k deposit is for pre-1940 homes only. (It’s also not an additional cost even for pre-1940 homes; it’s refunded when compliance is confirmed). Not additional.
Your article says the cost I mentioned includes both Abatement and Demolition. Abatement includes asbestos removal. The article says that cost overlaps with most cases of asbestos removal. Part of the cost, not additional.
Again, lots of people could spend 100K but the average cost isn’t 50K, and the article doesn’t say the average cost is 50K.
Maybe you disagree with the article, and maybe you’re right. But it says what it says.
