Parking lot is a wise investment

To The Eagle:

I want to thank the Town Council for having the foresight to purchase the Butler lot. As far as I can see, it is the only vacant lot in the city center area and is both a reasonable and wise investment. The Bank of Pacific sold it for 90K in 1996. Someone bought it for 75K in 2007, and now is selling it to the City for 68K. What's the problem here? Is someone jealous that they didn't get a chance at it? It's a no brainer purchase for the city. Let's use it for green space or parking or both. Thank you council members!
