Actually this is a cool idea. If the city can lease out and save $200 million that it will put towards education, that's really great. The money that is wasted is enormous in this country.
If that money went towards things like college, etc, we could churn out a whole lot of great students that would in turn, turn out a lot of great technological advances.
