62. And, then there is the matter of city owned structures that are sitting empty.

When I was living in both Raleigh and Charlotte, there were always city council members babbling about doing something about the homeless. Yet, Raleigh owned a large section of warehouses that were near the train tracks and they sat empty the entire time I lived there. (10 years.) They were never utilized and they were never even offered. Lots of hand wringing and faux tears about the poor homeless. And all the while they had the means to shelter them during harsh conditions, and they did nothing. That is when I asked a council member about this. He smiled, giggled and said there was 'more to it that that'. Yeah, the fact that you lot do not actually want to help anyone because you are far more interested in selling those old warehouses than helping your constituents. You just want to be seen as trying to do it. It was pathetic and it opened my eyes to the reality of how our nation has two societies. The wealthy and the peons. And, don't kid yourself... the wealthy do not care about the peons (except when the peons inconvenience them by not working enough to satisfy their greed or trying to get a decent wage or decent housing).
