Seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities and others depend upon it for medical appointments, groceries, work and maintaining their independence.

That is far more than it needs, and the cost of maintaining it has ballooned to unsustainable levels. The Public Buildings Reform Board recently identified 26 buildings across 15 states — totaling more than 7.3 million square feet — as potential candidates for the government to dispose of due to poor usage and high maintenance costs.
