Cutting Costs by Getting Rid of Buildings We Don't Need
This map visualizes a sampling of about 14,000 buildings and structures currently designated as excess. These properties range from sheds to underutilized office buildings and empty warehouses. Many of these assets will be disposed through demolition and transfers. Every excess asset taken off the books represents progress in the form of reduced operating and maintenance expenses, which cost the taxpayers almost $190 million a year.
Technically speaking, the government doesn't "own" property. It holds property as a trustee for the "people" - those folks who paid the taxes that bought that property.
So if the government is selling off property at sweetheart rates, and screwing the taxpayer, yes, there is something to be concerned about.
