I loved this:

“I want a janitor, a school teacher, the local pastor, whomever is involved in the community to sit at the table and to pick the projects for economic development.”

How refreshing to include the people on the streets in making decisions and not billionaires playing like they know what is best. Kudos to Ashley and I hope she is successful.

For those who only complain about the price, I consider it a donation to fund much-needed development projects. You obviously have the option to buy for less and let the owners keep the profits.
