... "If Jacksonville were inclined to fill in gaps in the general fund with the disposition of assets, the city may not be able to get market value for each of the 14 buildings on the list."

Well, they may not get market value but at least they would go back on the tax roll and become "earners" rather than expenses.

With the city not maintaining them properly, holding on to these buildings long-term, in an attempt to make more money off of them, doesn't make sense. Get rid of them below market value if it helps put them on the tax rolls and adds more people to downtown.
