So I Googled this and welp, it’s even more stupid.
This giant structure was originally being built as a post-surgical rehabilitation center but a month before it was completed, the city of Manvel annexed the area and zoned the property as residential.
So then it’s considered a fucking house and the city would not let it be anything else.
This is me taking this opportunity to point out that so much of this kind of stupid shit happens at the city level, where our votes actually make a massive difference because there’s not an electoral college ensuring rural votes count four times more than city votes and we can get non-partisan leadership that isn’t suckling the corporate teat that can and could zone this property differently,
develop a community partnership to invest and run the organization, and the building could become a shelter
instead of a stupid, empty McMansion no one wants to live in.
Soooooooo don’t just engage during the general/Presidential elections, vote in local elections too!
You can make a huge impact at the local level 🙂.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
