the location is problematic

MUST we have a jail addition on this choice piece of almost-riverfront land? MUST we take THIS land off the tax roles? MUST we raze this neat-as-a-pin neighborhood to put up an impersonal government building--even razing one of the oldest buildings in our neighborhood, one seen in old photo's shot from the river?

Isn't there a piece of city-owned land you could swap with the County--one on the periphery with easier-Interstate access for visitors--that could be used for a new jail.

Admittedly, we need more jail space and interest rates now are optimal for getting the job done. The time is right; the location is problematic.
