Five City-Owned Properties that Should be Sold Now!

[Radio Talk Show Host]

Why must we have a courthouse in a central location downtown yet not a supervisor of elections? Honestly I might lean towards we need neither and find the cheapest property possible for a court warehouse/strip mall redo

So they can be accessible to most citizens in the county? 
Downtown is more accessible than some abandon strip mall or warehouse elsewhere in the county.  The bus system may not be the best, but most of the routes do go downtown.  Riding the bus to some other part of the county would be more difficult - if the new location were even on a bus route.  Or would we then have to extend - and improve - bus service to the new, non-downtown location?

I know it is cliche but... What about the Jail or the School Board building?  Doesn't the School board own abandoned or closed schools across the city that could be restored for a historic school board site?  Also, with the boom of private jail contractors, the city could award a long term jail contract and avoid up-front construction costs.  The proceeds from the sale of the Jail property could help offset current budget shortfalls.  Thoughts?  I completely agree with the other properties on the list, except my feeling is that selling the lavilla property will just encourage another il-advised stripmall project that is too close to the urban core.

Also you can't let the perfect become the enemy of the good.

That is the most amazing line --
