I note that neoliberal parties do a similar thing in government; selling buildings that house the offices of public services, and making public service entities lease offices instead. The income from the sales makes the books look much healthier while they're in government, but in the long term those leases cost the public far more than the maintenance of publicly-owned buildings.
