I'd vote this as the single most accurate move made by the current adminstration - bar none. I particularly appreciate how they phrased it: "$3 billion _RESTORING_" (not "upgrading", not "renovating", not "transforming" .. but "restoring"!) ... well, at least their cognizant of their current policies and effectiveness. Now if we could get the guy living at 1600 Pennsy. Ave. a bunker in this new facility, all would be right with the world again. ;-)

Sorry, DHS guys -- this sounds kind of creepy. :-)

Especially this picture:

Preservationists are questioning plans by the Department of Homeland
Security to move into the west campus of St. Elizabeths Hospital, a former
lunatic asylum.

DHS plans to spend $3 billion restoring the 176-acre, 61-building campus,
which at its peak held 7,000 mental patients, and completing its move in
2013.
