Excess Federal Properties Interactive Map - October, 2011 | The White House

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.

Aids to Navigation (ATON): The ATON will remain the personal property of the USCG; they are solar-powered, active and automated. The Property has a powerful operating sound signal.

Hehe. nothing like waking up to a fog horn.

More land/buildings that Communist/Socialist Obama is selling to private citizens, proving that once again, Obama is a huge failure as a Communist/Socialist.

Whole web site full of this stuff.

The govt owns a large amount of real state. They buy, sell and leverage. Tight really has little to do with it.

And to think they are selling off all of these properties and its not making a dent in the federal debt...

And just to be clear, I'm all for selling off properties, I believe Clinton sold off quite a few, but the bidding process should be open to everyone, and you really shouldnt do it at the bottom of a market..

"Plum Island"?? Wasn't that where Clarice Starling was going to transfer Hannibal Lecter if he cooperated with the FBI, so he could have the view he wanted?? Gosh, this may be worse than communism, people. Obama may be in cahoots with Hannibal Lecter.

How do you see this as being a bad thing?

Quote:
For decades, the Federal Government, the largest property owner and energy user
in the United States, has managed more real estate than necessary to
effectively support its programs and missions. Both taxpayer dollars and
energy resources are being wasted to maintain these excess assets. In
addition, many of the properties necessary for the Government's work are not
operated efficiently, resulting in wasted funds and excessive greenhouse gas
pollution. For example, over the past decade, the private sector reduced
its data center footprint by capitalizing on innovative technologies to
increase efficiencies. However, during that same period, the Federal
Government experienced a substantial increase in the number of data centers,
leading to increased energy consumption, real property expenditures, and
operations and maintenance costs. Past attempts at reducing the Federal
Government's civilian real property assets produced small savings and had a
minor impact on the condition and performance of mission-critical
properties. These efforts were not sufficiently comprehensive in
disposing of excess real estate and did not emphasize making more efficient use
of existing assets.
