Affordable housing crissis is spreading

[Queen]

I was just bitching to some of my friends about this at coffee this morning.  In 1967 I joined the USAF and got stationed at Reese AFB outside Lubbock, TX.  During the Clinton administration it was closed and eventually turned over to the city of Lubbock. ( I use the term of Clinton administration only for time frame).  On occasion I drive out there to look around and it pisses me off to see perfectly good buildings falling down.  There BOQ's(bachelor officer quarters) that are basically one bedroom apartments that could be used for senior housing for example.  There's also several barracks that are repairable not to mention a small hospital that was built only a few years before the base closed that would be a great rehab center. 

There are several businesses there,  the local police academy, a junior college campus, but it pisses me to no end those building going to waste that could be used for low rent housing.

Our local Base (where my dad retired) closed about that same time.  Fortunately someone saw value in the old TDY dorms and the BOQ and turned them.into senior housing and a quasi-military youth rehabilitation camp.
