Because that would make too much sense

Yes and you raise a good point. This used to be a land for everyone to come to. Now it is a country of a waiting list and no more room for the less fortunate.

Like I, the government doesn't care about the poor.\n\nI wouldn't participate in such acts.

Low income families I would think.

decline. the governemtn should spend more on  the people living in poverty before it tries to save anyone else

Wow.  What a concept!\n\nWhen their assets are sold, make sure the money goes to people in their district.\n\nAnd it would solve the overcrowding in America in the large cities.

Well, this was done by most of the communist countries. As you know communisam crashed across the world!\n\nI feel Govt should encourage people to earn mony to safeguard themself. Providing homes will make them lazy!

I WOULD TRY AND INVEST IT. POSSIBLY TRY AND GET REALESTATE PROPERTY. I WOULD WANT TO SEE WHAT REALESTATE  THE GOV. HAD FOR SALE. FORCLOSURES GOOD DEALS ON THAT KIND OF LAND

They would have to take it apart and do it.  But this would not be cost effective.  You can just build a new one, which would be cheaper than taking apart the sears tower, transporting it, the rebuilding it.

I am in N O. The people here are faced with very few places to live, rent, or lease. Everything is full and prices are terrible. I hope someone can give you the answer your looking for because the reality of the situation here is grim.

You are confused.\n\nIt is a PRIVILEGE to live in somebody else's property free and it is not a RIGHT.

a lot of them, if not all of them want to move here. well it won't benefit anyone if usa spends money on fixing it up. but taking over would eventually help build it up. i seriuosly doubt that would ever happen though.

I have heard that the City of Beverly Hills has a requirement where the size of the house is limited due to the size of the lot, older homes cannot be expanded beyond the existing exterior walls.  For this reason there are homeowners that have spent fortunes increasing the size of the house by going under ground.  This requirement does not apply to large lots.  Construction in Southern California is expensive.\n\nIf you need to ask, you can't afford it.

I believe that this Act was inacted due to the fact that there was no monitoring on landlords. Someone that owned a property and wished to rent it out would have been able to only rent to someone that held their same race, religion or beliefs, hence, allowing for discrimination.

I would open a home for children without parents or parents who are not involved.  And then I would hope I could get government help to keep it going. That would be something I would do.

sure they can...they are getting rid of the illiterate and the dregs of their society and dumbing them here.  By scraping off the surplus population, they can maximize productivity......if their government wasn't corrupt and an enemy of the free market and entrepreneurship.

Yes most definitely and that applies even today. It falls under eminent domain. The Govt. can even take your house
