I was SO ANGRY when an old motel closed back where I used to live in New Mexico, & instead of doing something USEFUL with it, they brought in a backhoe or something & used it to knock down the front wall of each room. So homeless people wouldn't squat there; that's what I read in the paper when I went looking. ARGH.
Course this is the same town where, right at the beginning of the plague, the mayor claimed that 'his people' hadn't brought the plague to the Navajo; the Navajo had brought it to 'his people'. Pretty fascinating thing for a white guy to say in a town that's 60% Navajo. They started calling him Mayor Plague Blankets after that.
