These underused parcels and buildings aren’t just a budget burden; they’re also a drag on their neighborhoods, stopping the transformation of buildings and land into higher and better uses, like housing, or even just renovated, modern office space.

If you’re thinking about leveraging Washington’s underused assets, this might be a better place to start than selling the Department of Justice.

That act created a Public Buildings Reform Board, which was supposed to sell those underused properties that might fetch upwards of $500 million.

Already, from Florida to Minnesota to Montana, mayors, governors, and state legislators have relaxed land-use restrictions and other ordinances, repurposed underused property to create new affordable homes, and rezoned land to make walkable, transit-friendly neighborhoods available to all.

The museum is part of a wider regeneration scheme in York to transform underused railway land into a new city quarter which could create more than 3,000 new homes and more than 6,000 new jobs, according to the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
