Yeah, all those university buildings in town are such a waste. Maybe we should condemn them all (including the U, of course) and build housing and recreation for the homeless. On a for-profit basis, of course, as long as there's not too much profit, and property taxes are paid so we aren't inconvenienced.

You can call it a "dilapidated dump" if you want, but at least back then it paid property taxes. Now it doesn't, so the rest of us taxpayers pay more to make up the difference.
