They have a bunch of schools and they can be bought for a song.

There's a group in Kansas City that bought an old school and has a bunch of families getting back to the earth.

It's a very good idea. Although I don't think they should occupy them - they should be able to buy them.

The one that I was so intrigued by in Detroit was a high school on 20 acres.
