"Every community has its version of the Red Tape Game. The rules are invisible, but the outcome is the same: vacant buildings stay vacant, and citizens give up on making their place better.
But there’s another path. Cities can be critical of their current processes and strip away the needless barriers, listen to community support, and welcome local investment."

It's a disgrace that these properties sit unused and decaying when there's so many things schools could be doing with them, even if they're too small for a modern style campus.
They could redevelop them for childcare for teachers (and students, actually). They could house special programs and small magnet schools, etc.
