What is so special about this building? Sites like this are commonplace in New Britain.

I for one would like to see a story about the vacant Walmart building on Farmington Avenue. You could show a photo of our current mayor protesting with a group of radical extremists demanding that the business hire nothing but Puerto Rican managers and then next to it a current picture of the grass growing out of the empty parking lot in front of the shuttered building that has been vacant since the mayor and his band of fellow radicals drove the world's largest employer out of New Britain.

Now that would really be news about the direction this socialist regime is steering this city in.

Quite a one sided report. I don't see any attempt by the reporter to offer the property owner's side of the story. We are left wondering what happened, like perhaps the owner was possibly tired of the ever increasing taxes here in Connecticut or the ever increasing government regulation and mandates on businesses, but we will never know the entire story, because as most liberal members of the media, they only tell the story with a left wing spin.

The write is a douchebag people! Just like the idiots who made him do the story, Sherwood! How about a solution to this perceived problem, let the city buy it and then either fix it or sell the property. Has anyone in this administration attempted to do that? Think not just wait their will be 50 more of these by the time reval kicks in!

It seems to me that the owners of this property should go to the next c.p.o.a meeting to seek protection

This butt ugly building is for sale??? Who would want it? It would be cheaper to tear it down and rebuild a new structure, than to renovate it!! It's uglier than the butt ugly building in Hartford that has finally been recently torn down. The owner should consider selling it to the city for $1, and write it off as a business loss. Or, sell it to Phil Sherwood...he can take up residence there, and grace it with his presence!

The solution for this administration will no doubt be to take these properties over, spend millions in taxpayer dollars fixing them up and then giving the apartments out to people they believe deserve them for little or no rent, thereby shifting the cost of housing all these people onto the backs of the homeowners.

Democrats are mounting an all out assault on property owners and owners of wealth in general because they belove you should not be allowed to have more wealth than someone who never worked a day in his life and simply sits on the front porch drinking taxpayer supplied beer day after day.
